And what did you get for Christmas?

One of the best quotes I have come across in a very long time, I actually found in a book given to my 6 year old son, written by Jay Leno - How to be the Funniest Kid in the World.

"Once you can accept the universe as matter expanding into nothing that is something, wearing stripes with plaid comes easy." -- Albert Einstein

Oh, by the way Allison, I am still suffering with that one. Get it? O-HI-O? Get it? Yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot.

Books I Have Read Recently

Amesterdam by Ian McEwan. See post for Aug. 31, 2005.

The History of Love by Nicole Krauss. I guess you would say this is the story of a book, and all the people connected to it. It is well-crafted. Some very, very sad parts. I hardly ever read anything more than once. This is probably worth reading twice. Will I do that? Probably not. But it's good enough that I can conceive of doing that.

Why Gender Matters by Leonard Sax. This is some very interesting reading material. A little dry in parts, but he presents a compelling argument based on scientific research and not private musings and observations.

The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs by Alexander McCall Smith. How can you go wrong with a title like this? Actually, I listened to this as a book on tape. The narration and intonation was excellent. My stepfather read it and was not too impressed, so I would recomend listening to it.

My Favorite Radio Station
(depending on my mood)
Jazz FM 91.1
One of the nice things about living in Western NY is being able to get Canadian stations. One of the nice things about the net is that you can listen to them online, provided you live in the 21st century and are on broadband.
