Recommended book review

Should you read The Secret? No. Should you read this review: How "The Secret" Changed My Life? Yes!

What have I done for me lately?

Books Read 2007, #6:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) A great end to the series (how's that for an insightful review? Oh well, at least I'm not including any spoilers.)

Books Read 2007, #7
The Polysyllabic Spree, by Nick Hornby
Collected columns from The Believer through October 2004. Hornby writes a couple thousand words each month on books he's purchased and books he's actually read, the relationships between the lists, the books on them, his life, music, and whatever else suits his fancy. I'm looking forward to reading the follow-up volume, "Housekeeping Vs. The Dirt."

I love my brother

Our phone conversation tonight included this thought:

"If I were a woman I'd be totally insulted by a television program that suggests that real women get over their problems by buying an $800 pair of shoes and drinking a crantini."

Evidence of a Bad Mommy

Three times in the last week, I've walked in the door with Maggie after getting her from daycare in the afternoon, and just as she's stepping inside she says "did you buy me something new today?"
