A Place to Stand by Jimmy Santiago Baca

Perhaps the last book in English that I read for a while.
A wonderfully written account of Jimmy's triumph over a broken prison system.
A bit depressing, but like music in a minor key, somewhat more powerful than "happy" books.

Had my last exam of the year this morning.
Hope I passed all of them.
Packing this evening.

Philly tomorrow for reunion at HC.
Monday morning flight to La Paz.
Getting excited.
