The signing
The signing
Today was a very exciting day! My family and I were going to Barnes and Noble on Mira Mesa to get our books signed by the author, I looked down at my book, the cover was cool, smooth, and hard. I looked at the author's name and whispered, "Jeff Kinney." I was happy, no, excited, no I felt like I had won the lottery ticket! I looked at the trees, through the glass. It felt like they would never end, like when you are on a road trip, but we finally got there. The gales of wind felt like really cold on my face. I looked at the loooong line of people, " This was going to take a long time," I thought.
One and half hour passed. People who came didn't always have wrist bands to get a signing. I felt the urge to sell mine, but Tony stopped me. More time flew by when they finally exclaimed what we had been waiting for, "P', they said, "Come in if you have the letter P. We rushed inside like a herd of bulls. But, we still had to wait. But then I saw my good friend, Jason! We talked and talked about games and stuff we liked, but we ere finally on the font of the line. Jason didn;t have a wristband though, but then I thought of a great idea, "I can get yours signed." I said. Jason wasn't so sure, but he handed me his book, I saw Tony smiling as he got his and the one for Sohum signed. i got my book ready, I stepped up. "Hi," I said. "Who are these for?" Jeff said politely. "For Ray and Jason," I said with excitement. After we took our picture we got a key chain and left. "Here is your book." I said to Jason. We were all talking to each other as we headed toward the cafe and got drinks. Jason had to go and we all said bye. But before we left I looked at the signature and smiled a warm smile.

[游在他乡]因为马龙和斯托克顿，很早就知道犹他，仅此而已。今年西部少年游泳锦标赛在犹他州盐湖城奥运中心举行。八月九号到十二号四天的赛程，刚好和奥运游泳同时。白天现场看娃娃游，晚上电视看大人游。每天沿着环城的远山早出晚归。快一周的时间，在盐湖城竟然没有堵过车。周日逛Temple square时大街上更是难得见到人。
摩门的唱诗班天下有名，教堂的人也很是自豪。为了让迟到的我们能多听两分钟，，亲自带路，一溜小跑地送我们到现场。来听的多是穿戴整齐的本地人。几千人的大礼堂威严肃穆，乐章间所有人都守规矩没鼓掌，安静得让人不敢出大气。其中定有不少象我这样的不懂其乐章却被吓得不敢乱动的人。不远处就是州议会大厦。墙上刻着犹他的历史。原来和德州一样，也是从墨西哥手里夺过来的。有点诧异的是西北的几个炼油厂离城中心竟是如此之近。
不大的中国城的牌楼很漂亮。透过城门望去，就是夕阳中的远山。
