I am so un, unhappy I missed book club...I'm afraid I had an attack of mommy guilt and stayed home with Bella since I have been gone a lot of nights with RS stuff, work stuff, and the vague attempts to stay healthy at the gym.

I read Stegner's book last year and found it to be so, well, REAL. The subtleties of the marriage/friendship dynmics were painfully and beautifully delineated...I saw so much of my own life and the lives of those I know in this book.

I miss you all...please forgive my sporadic attendance...I am just in a "whirling" place right now and feel torn to go in so many directions.
