The year is half over! Can you believe it? How's everybody holding up? Are you doing okay?

If you're reading this on the day it's posted, I'm in the middle of Hell week(s) at work. July 4th is the busiest day of the year at parks. July 5th is a governor's holiday in Colorado, so lots of state employees who aren't me will be off work. Then it's the weekend, which is always chaotic at parks. Also, the fiscal year is ending, and I work in the revenue department when I'm not dealing with traffic, customers, problems, whatever. Basically, the world is conspiring to kill me.

Speaking of death: I passed the prerequisite class and got accepted to EMT school. I guess that'll be happening in August. Somehow.

Let's talk about books! I've read 33 of them so far this year. That's not a lot, but a large chunk of them have been massive. My goal for the year is to read all the big books I've been procrastinating. I think I'm doing pretty well.

Here are the highlights (and lowlights) of my reading year so far.
