Writing Victories

1. Jered has his author’s website up and is working on other social media outlets for his writing. He’s also trying to come up with a pen name as there are dozens of Jered Fitzgerald’s up on Amazon as authors.

Reading Victories

1. Ben S. read “Wired For Love: A Neuroscientist’s Journey Through Romance, Loss and the Essence of Human Connection” by Stephanie Cacioppo and found it fascinating.
2. Jeff finished “Wuthering Heights” and rated it a C+. He was a little put off by the writing style which was a narrator telling the story to another narrator who was telling it to the reader. He also disliked that the villain suddenly became good at the end without much of an explanation. Jeff is now waiting for “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte and “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald to be returned to the library.

Personal Victories

1. Bill’s wife, Karen, was up at the Mayo Clinics this week and testing showed that her treatments are already improving her health.
2. Ciuin has been working at controlling her diet, specifically her sugar and salt intake and is at her lowest weight in five years. Lifestyle changes make a difference!
