Yes, I am well aware that I have posted this before, however, this is a different case. A couple of weeks before I started classes at Brigham Young University Idaho, I started a book called 'The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook.' Most of my reviews lately have been Kindle e-books that I have downloaded via an app called OverDrive using my account from my hometown library. This was one such book.
Once I started this novel, a crazy chain of events unfolded. First, I left Colorado to go back to Ohio to help my mother clear out her home--my childhood home. This was a crazy and emotional undertaking that took up a lot of my free time. Along the way, I had the chance to stop by my childhood school district's administrative offices to retrieve my high school transcript to send to BYU Idaho.
To clear my head and calm my nerves, I also took walks during the day when the occasion would permit itself. On these walks, I noticed that a lot of childhood landmarks that I remembered had either disappeared completely, or had closed and the building had been occupied by another business.
Some of these I had remembered seeing before I left, such as the hole-in-the-wall video rental store being occupied by a prepaid cellular dealer, and my elementary school being reduced to a big, grassy lawn, but in other cases, I was completely taken by surprise.
For example, my neighborhood library had its final day of operation, and the United Dairy Farmers' convenience store that sat just a half-block or so from my elementary school had been replace by a Marathon-branded one.
At any rate, because of my over-scheduled life, it is with deepest regret that I must announce that I am throwing in the towel on the "Facebook-book." Fortunately, I had already met my quota anyway.
