i think i'm in love with my radio

hey everyone! no one's really commenting, but it's ok cause i'm writing this for myself anyway. i had a great weekend; an out-and-about friday, a lazy saturday and a productive sunday. it was the perfect balance.

i'm currently reading marley and me. from the trailers i saw of the movie, it looked like a typical hollywood warm-your-heart story. but the book is so much more. it's a brilliantly written memoir of life with this uncontrollable and fiercely lovable dog, marley. the text follows marley's entire life, adding in elements of the author's life as well such as job opportunities, moving across the country and having children. i haven't finished the book, i'm quite near the end, and i find myself head over heels in love with marley because he is so in love with life. i've reached a very sad turning point, however, because marley is beginning to show signs of aging and although his spirit is as vibrant as ever, his body can't quite keep up. the author says, and i agree, that marley teaches him about his mortality. that even an on-the-go spirit like marley winds down eventually. i predict that the end will be heartbreaking, but i've enjoyed the journey immensely and i recommend it to everyone, pet owner or not.
