The new Carlos Castenada biography just hit our shelves and we love it!

It's a jim dandy, rip-snorting, imperial treasure.

The conman has been outed.

It took only five decades to remove the mask. Better late than never, right?

We have been following the El Nino weather pattern heading this winter.

Experts predict, “It will be warmer in some places, colder in others, wetter in some, drier in others”.

Cool. That narrows it down.

You don't tug on Superman's cape.
You don't spit in the wind.
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger.
And you don't mess around with Jim.

The Obama Presidential Center opens today in Chicago.

Attached is an image of some dignitaries in attendance.

Fun fact: Michelle and GW are besties.
We recommend googling their interactions over the years.

100% Delightful!

You've read "The Medium is the Massage" by McCluhen.
You've read "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Postman.

We recommend "Screen People" by Megan Garber.

And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten …

"What then must we do?"

Tolstoy asked the same question. He wrote a book with that title. He got so upset about the poverty in Moscow that he went one night into the poorest section and just gave away all his money.

You could do that now.

There are only two plots in all of literature:

1) A person goes on a journey.
2) A stranger comes to town.
