“When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily.”
From the moment you read that first sentence, Alice Sebold captures your attention in her most recent book, “The Almost Moon.” Like her earlier novel, “Lovely Bones,” and her memoir, “Lucky,” Sebold’s third book is just as graphic and violent. All three take dark, overlooked subjects and bring them up front and center.
The plot of this twisted tale revolves around murder.

I am afraid to tell my mother, but I am seriously contemplating village life. Last weekend I was given the awesome opportunity to travel again to a small village in the Chinese countryside. One of my colleagues has a Chinese friend who was celebrating his birthday in a village about four hours away from Hangzhou and he invited me along to travel with him.

Carla Wright, District 5 School Board member will continue to hold her spot now that she won the election over Flagler College Academic Advisor Skeeter Key.
“This is not the right time to change school board members,” Wright, member of the school board for seven years, said.
Wright thinks that Key is a charming guy, nevertheless.
“There was probably one thing on the ballot that we disagreed on this would have been it,” Key said.

Things are great here on my side of the world. October in Hangzhou brought many adventures and chances to learn about China’s culture. Seven of the foreign teachers from my university took a little weekend trip to a village called DaTou, four hours west from Hangzhou.
The town was so small that there is no restaurant. So the home we stayed in cooked for us each meal. One morning we were awoken by the screams of a pig who was dying to be our lunch. Life in the village is simple, yet the people are content. There is no rush to make money, be anywhere, no traffic to fight and no deadlines to make. What is important is that the eggplant is harvested on time, the pigs are fed well so that they can be sold, and that the children learn to harvest as their parents do. It was a wonderful experience to live amongst such proud and wholesome people even if only for a weekend.
