Did you catch the McCain/Obama event at Saddleback Church? I thought it was very well done because they asked great questions and gave each one ample time to speak.

As to books, I looked through my list and realized I read WAY too much heavy, serious stuff! But I did read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I am not usually into girl-friendship type books, but I really loved it.

Another good one is The Song Reader. I did a quick review HERE. No spoilers.
