I find myself doing this with certain authors. Stephen King, Michael Crichton, John Grisham to name a few.

A guy walks into a quiet bar carrying three ducks-one in each hand and one
under his left arm. He places them on the bar, has a few drinks, and chats
with the bartender.
The Bartender is experienced and has learned not to ask people about the
animals that they bring into the bar, so he doesn't mention the ducks. He
and the guy chat for about thirty minutes Kiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17055518596220315045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5209416.post-1062764644817973692003-09-05T08:24:00.000-04:002003-09-05T08:25:14.773-04:00Reading, such an enjoyable pastime. What surprises me is when someone asks me what I do for fun and I happen to mention reading, they are surprised. They get this almost proud expression on their face and say "I don't read.". OK, so you don't read. Why be proud of the fact? Most people say "I don't have time to read". OK so turn off your TV. "Oh my children take up all my spare time".

It was a blast! As we drove up we noticed a bunch of Amish carriages parked out front. Being that we have been in Ohio for a year now and not had the pleasure of running into any Amish yet, I thought "Cool, Amish!".

1) The 2 Finger Wave. This isn't another way to flip people off; it is an actual greeting while driving. The first time this happened I looked at my wife and asked her if we knew that person. Apparently not. There are rules you have to follow when using this wave. Do not lift your hand off of the steering wheel.

I was outside having a smoke with a co-worker (you know who you are). She looked at her hands, which were slightly stained with a certain tanning product, and said "It looks like I have been playing in my butt". I have not heard this expression before but it is apt.

Did anyone see the Moon and Mars last night? It was incredible!
Kandy and I recently purchased a CD that I recommend very much. It is Darius Rucker's (Hootie of Hootie and The Blowfish fame) first solo effort. It is a really laid back R&B/Soul album.

Sorry for the super long post last time. My fingers started going and I couldn't stop. Thank you all for your very nice comments. I really appreciate it. So what to talk about? The weather here in Ohio is rainy but at least it isn't cold. I swear that Winter lasts for 10 months out of the year here. Work is good.

Unfortunately this has left a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to religion. (If you want more info on the cult check this out) I think to some degree I have over come my issues with most religion.

I think that the definition of music is anything that can make you feel. Some people will say "I don't listen to rap, that shit is not music" or "Country music is all about some guy's dead dog and his pickup sitting in the front yard".
