Finished The Dark Tower this weekend. It's been a long journey indeed. Mixed feelings about the ending. The final confrontation of Good vs. Evil was kind of not good. There were many more moments in the story which were much more epic. I also was dissapointed that the final conflict relied too heavily on a character which was relatively new to the story. As far as "how the story ends" after the confrontation, well I thought King did very well. So kudos for that. In general the whole end of the series felt rushed to me, esspecially Susanah's Song.

If you have a second, take a gander at the poem which inspired King to start writing this story in 1970. I think it's great.

I printed out this dragon illusion thing and folded it up but it doesn't quite work properly for me. Stupid dragons.

Lindsay ran a half marathon this Saturday. It was raining when she started and progressed through sleet and then into snow. 13 miles, soaking wet and freezing. Cars splashing through puddles as they drive by. She and the other racers are insane. Good news is that Lindsay finished in 3rd place overall for the women. She got a jacket from Puma and a free pair of running shoes.

I made a quick cassoulet from the Jacques Pepin's cookbook that Millburg gave to us last week. It was delicious. However I did feel funny having to buy sausage from the grocery. I felt slightly ashamed that I didn't have any homemade waiting in the freezer.
