Jan 30 2009

Last week the United States got a new president, and this week Illinois got a new governor. That’s right, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was officially impeached by the state senate yesterday (Thursday). First time in state history! Now that Gov. Pat Quinn is our new fearless leader, I hope we can put this debacle aside and get the state cleaned up.

Politics aside, it has been a sad week in the literary world with the passing of John Updike. I’m still reading about his legacy all over the web, but I doubt we’ll know the scope of the impact he had for generations to come.

Now that the weekend is here, I’m going to try and get some reading done – my stack of books to read keeps getting bigger and bigger! I hope all of you out there in internetland can get some good reading done as well – especially if you live in an area with cold, snowy weather (perfect for reading).

And like always, have a safe and happy weekend!
