As of the time that I'm writing this (about 5 PM), there's a huge thunderstorm going on near our area, and the power keeps going on and off. For the first time on my site, I'm using Notepad to write this blog entry. Fun! Today was a relatively lowkey day, so I've able to catch up on my reading. I am currently reading a book called "The Lost Symbol", written by Dan Brown. It is the second book in the Da Vinci Code series, and it continues that book's themes of symbolism, the Masons, and thriller-mystery stuff. I'd recommend reading it if you can find a copy, especially if you like mysteries.
