Back to Basics
Back to basics… I love to read. Fantasy, non-fiction, history, ponderings… doesn’t matter. Have a ton of magazine subscriptions and always have 4-5 books on my “currently reading” list and a dozen on my gotta get to soon list. I like to write. Have never completed anything. The fragments I keep are pretty good, though I…

GT Cheating Scandal
Local: School sanctions students for cheating and turns around and makes the class “collaborative”. So because students were collaborating prior to it being legit they get 0s or suspensions.

Computer Books

FBI Honeypot?
Is this the book club for militia members? It has such classic titles like: “The SAS Self-Defense Handbook”, “The SAS Fighting Techniques Handbook”, “Handguns 2002”. It just needs to add germ warfare and how to make an atomic bomb to really unmask the true nature of the book club. Maybe this is just me, but I…

In and Out
Had lunch with Cat, Dusty, Tamara, and Leti. Was very good to see them all again. Sharon was in and out since she technically was working. Right now I am listening to the new Essential Mix with Paul Jackson. I really enjoyed last week’s with Ashley Casselle. Oh, I seriously doubt that A Feast for Crows from the…
