I finished The Eye of the World today. Really good book. There are 11 in the series, with the 12th to be released in three installments, starting later this year. I've got the next two in the series on the way. This makes 10 or 11 books I've read so far this year.

I had to kill a cat today. Gabe came home and told me about a cat he found near campus, almost dead. Probably got hit by a car. He said some dog was chewing on it but it was still alive, back legs kicking. He wondered aloud if we should go back and kill it quickly so it wouldn't suffer.

We got in my car, found the cat and I gunned it, aiming for its head. It might have been dead before we hit it but I got out to check just in case. One of its eyes was bulging out of its head and the skull was probably crushed. It smelled terrible. I'm glad we killed it that way cause I brought my pocketknife with me in case it was off the side of the road and I had to slit its throat. That would have sucked.

My knee needs to hurry up and get better cause I'm running Friday.

Link here to a pretty frickin sweet thing happening between Jim Wallis and Rush Limbaugh (Jim Wallis, by the way is my political hero).
