If I meet him in heaven, I'm leaving

I recently signed up for a lunchtime program sponsored by the Office of Employee Health and Well-Being, where participants are all supposed to walk from their workplaces to a designated place on campus, then learn about something related to happy/healthy living. I skipped the first week because the theme was line dancing, which makes me the opposite of happy. Then after I signed up, I found that the last week - which was supposed to be about "journaling" - has been replaced with something that threatens to make me even less happy than line dancing: a book discussion about Mitch Albom's latest book. For my feelings on this particular author, I present everyone's favorite cartoon librarian, Dewey:

Unshelved, 3/28

Well I shall enjoy the stretching, nature walks and sushi-rolling, anyway. I'm not getting points for attendance.

I would give people hugs for losing stuff written by Mitch Albom. That said, I think I've just found a new desktop.

How about for being given a book and giving it back? Do I get a hug for that? I figured they could give it to someone else and it would save them from buying one more book.

Half of one. Because you touched it. Please sterilize your hands before the next time you see me. Nothing serious, just some high level radiation.

Like your boyfriend in Canada?

Wow, I totally put that comment on the wrong post. It was supposed to be on this one in reference to your comment about things that are real and/or Canadian.

When I worked in a bookstore, I'd actually HIDE this shit so people couldn't buy it. I tried to do the same with that Chicken Soup shit-train, but the section was so big it defeated my efforts to strike a blow for literacy.

Nature walks are fun. I'm going on one now.

That was this week's event. It was nice. We learned about the wildflowers in the botanical sanctuary and I got a map of the trails around town. I've been here a year and a half and I didn't know we had all these trails!
