Wild blue yonder

I just got back from attending the air races in Reno, NV.  Each September aviation enthusiasts come from all over the world to watch or participate in the ultimate venue for pure, raw horsepower.  Whether you're into World War II warbirds or the latest in military technology, the air races offer something for every airplane nut.  Of course, the Northwest has its own share of aviation history.  Where would aviation be without Boeing?  Check out Boeing Field to find out how Boeing became the giant it is today.  And if you can't make it to Reno, don't fret - the library has some dvds that showcase a variety of airplanes.  The Aviation Library is a fine place to start, and you won't even have to fight the crowds to get a good seat.

Ready for Football Season

I'm a big fan of the NFL, so I was interested to take a look at the new book by Drew Brees, Coming back stronger : unleashing the hidden power of adversity.
The book is the inspirational story of how he came back from a severe shoulder injury to lead the New Orleans Saints to the Super Bowl. A great book for football fans, and those who cheer for the underdogs in life.
