Palin Looking Forward to Reading Her Book - Borowitz Report

Books, books, books.

I love it when I run across some books that I can get into and lose myself for, in this case, seven hundred pages. It happens sometimes, and is a special bonus when I have found seven books at our annual book sale. It seems I may have a month or two of pleasurable reading in store.

Strange as it seems, when I go to my favorite book store Barnes and Noble and spend an hour browsing, I couldn't find that many if I tried hard. Of course finding seven books in a book store and paying for them seems like a mission impossible. Let's see seven times twenty-five dollars comes to hummmm one hundred seventy five bucks, yikes.

While in this imagine mode I probably could not find seven books very easily. I think I would be too particular in my selections. If you're paying 175 dollars it would take some serious musing. When I am at the book sale it is so great because if I see something that even looks like it might be good, into the bag it goes. Heck I throw them into the bag even if the cover looks good. But this year I think after a slower look through my picks think I got seven I will read through to the end.

Well I'm outta here, I left my good guys and bad guys in the Philippines in 1943. Everything is about to come to a conclusion, not necessarily a good conclusion but that's the way it was in those years.

a funny one

I'm uploading this for family. This was the day I came back from Kandahar in Sept. 2005. Life has changed since then. But Gracie is still a good dog. UPDATE: (11-13-2009) - This is crazy. I posted...

I really enjoy watching Agatha Christie mysteries on PBS. I hardly ever follow it completely, probably not much at all if the truth be known. That does not though lessen my enjoyment of the mystery. Maybe I have a little Anglophile in me or I like to able to doze off and wake up without much loss of plot since I really didn't know what was happening before.

WATER FOUND ON THE MOON

This came across as a New York Time alert. True it really did, today, just now. WATER FOUND ON THE MOON. Now to me that brings up several questions. Is the planet in a stage similar to our prehistoric age, or perhaps in a post suicidal age after the bright politicians and scientists blew the planet up? Whew it kind of gives me shivers thinking that there could be another whole planet of us; and the moon is sort of our next door neighbor. Crank up the NASA lobby, I see a large bill being presented soon to the congress from the space ship garage. But on the other hand, new territory for McDonald's and the toy makers can start making the new Barbie and Ken's moon relatives. And then.......

Wait, this isn't a Friday the 13th joke is it? The venerable old Times from New York taking a page out of the MAD comic book? Hmmmm.
