I hate to say this, but the “Case Foundation” did something similar to this back in 2008(http://www.joshchandlerblog….Regardless of that matter, well done Best Buy for stepping up the mark. Your influence will be hugely beneficial, and I really look forward to see how much money is raised 🙂

I find your book reactions quite useful. Loved Sarah’s Key. Our book club is discussing Olive Kitteridge next. Your points are well-taken. The last chapter may present prospects for change late(r) in life. We just finished America, America by Ethan Canin, my first book by him and quite interesting in terms of politics. The Metz book on a marriage gone awry (discovered posthumously) was not quite as compelling to me as Isabel Gillies’ It Happens Every Day which had appealing (to me) starkness of prose. Our book group also ventured into The Post Birthday World, Admissions (more a novel than about college admissions-thank goodness).
The end of Olive K gave many good questions for conversation which I read through. But I still found the book not very embracing of life in general.joanne [email protected]
Be sure to use something that big. It’s easy for tissue or behind them to catch the best snow blower and the results are not very pleasant.
