Book review: The Ride of our Lives
Jen. Jen! Enough with the book reviews! Are your children going hungry? Have they bathed since school got out? Have you? Seriously, what’s with the reading?

Today’s selection (and this means I have to start a new book, by the way) is The Ride of our LIves by Mike Leonard. You might recognize the name; he’s a correspondent for the Today show, based outside of Chicago. A few years ago he took his parents, three of his kids, and a daughter-in-law on a cross-country RV trip, ending up back in Chicago in time for the birth of his first grandchild. If you watch the Today show, you might remember this trip being featured on the show at the time.
