I'm glad to see (though sorry at your expense) that I am not alone in not meeting my reading goals!! I suppose another valuable lesson we can glean from this is that we only have so many books we can read, so we should read only the important ones. We should use our reading time wisely! Thanks for sharing, ED!
Hey man, I'm way behind this year, too. 50's going to be impossible, but that doesn't mean I'll change the goal for next year! We need to bounce some youth ideas off of each other sometime soon!
