My recent amazon reviews.

Check out my full reviews through the links - but if you're interested in short synopses, then here's something to whet your appetite.

1. Don't waste your money on the smoke detector I've listed.
2. The Night of the Gun is long, but it's worth the read.
3. Time is a River is great...if you love Lifetime mini-dramas.
4. "Eh Oh" by Femi Kuti is a free download - it starts out big and has an interesting message underneath its layers.
5. I filter my water, though...I'm pretty sure the water treatment plant does an otherwise satisfactory job at it too.

Spam in my box...

Occasionally, I recieve some sort of spam in my work inbox, and I wonder "How did they know where to send this?"

Today, however, I received a real piece of mailed spam.

If for nothing else except for the promise of a longer life and a better functioning of my sexual plumbing, it was worth opening. Because it promised that real experts from nowhere less prestigious from Harvard itself would be providing this information...it was worth opening. Plus, I was promised to "be surprised," just by opening the letter!

The crazy thing (to me, at least) is that someone has the job of opening the return envelopes from people who might actually be interested in this.

I very often think that we live in a strange and scary world. This, I think, is just further proof of fact that it's true.

Seriously, I wasn't even nearly intelligent enough to wonder whether or not Viagra would hurt my eyes...

I guess I'm seriously fortunate to not have the need of partaking in the blue pill...

My Wife is in the News!
