Which John Hughes Movie Character Are You?
(via Stuck in the '80s)

50-book challenge
No. 13 was A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby. I loved this book. It is more character-driven than plot-driven, but it's a great read. The author of "High Fidelity" -- not only a good book, but a good movie adaptation -- created a quirky, funny, witty, sad quartet that drive this book. I liked them all. Next up: I'm not sure. I'm going to make a trip to the library tomorrow.

Mantra
I will resist the urge to say what should be said.

And he wonders why I worry when he rides

My husband thinks I'm overly cautious. I really want to love motorcycles since he and my son are motorcycle nuts, but scenes like this make me a little afraid. Luckily, the guy who was on this bike wasn't hurt as badly as we feared, but still thisclose to being much worse.
