Dad Reads a Book

Reading in the Wonderful World of WhitewayWho says I can’t read? Here’s the proof! My daughter, Emily (a prolific writer) tells me that in order to write a book (a dream of mine), first I have to read a book.

Well, Emily. I read this book, cover to cover, so I am ready to write my masterpiece. Now I just need to study the best sellers to calculate how many pages my book should be, how many words in the average sentence, and how many of those sentences I need to put into the average paragraph and chapter. I don’t need exact numbers – I am an engineer and approximations are good enough for me!

In all seriousness, Tuesdays with Morrie was a fantastic read, one that The Berry and I both tore through last fall. We’re trying to take the lessons forward with us as our business gets busier with the season. If I manage to get time (not likely!), I might try to give it a second read through, just to keep me on track. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what truly matters most – and that’s a lesson that I intend to keep top of mind as we go forward.

Have you read Tuesdays with Morrie? Did you like it as much as we did?
