    So much to read. So little time since its gets interrupted by things like work and hockey.

    About a year ago I got an e-reader and I have bought/downloaded over 50 e-books.

    I think I've got my youngest son hooked on the joys of reading novels. He got several chapter books for Christmas, two of them I got for free from a church - they are not religious btw, just recycled. He just started reading one about a kid in school in space. I have him excited about reading one of the other books, about "The Littles" who are tiny people.

    He's also hooked on video games - presently playing Oblivion with the help sometimes of both me and his brother for character shaping.

    I like kids with imagination. Oh, who am I kidding? I like people with imagination.

    And I'm painfully reminded that I read too less. It's weird, because I like writing. Perhaps I'm just too full of myself that I rather state my opinion and share my thoughts than learning about others'. :D

    I like both reading and writing, but I find writing is more a personal thing for me. I've always enjoyed the beauty of words. Sometimes I try to incorporate text into my art.

    @ Mon - for whatever reasons you like to write, its a good thing :)

    I'm not double posting, it's a new day :p

    I keep hoping that spring will come early but the temperature is waggling around 0.

    My youngest son is home sick but not suffering badly because I gave him honey and cinnamon powder tea and then gave him a big bowl of chicken-noodle soup with lots of crackers in it. The rest of the day he has been spent sitting on the couch playing Oblivion. He still has his cough though.

    Actually he is on day three sick at home now. He did play some more Oblivion this morning but now he is just lying on the couch watching cartoons. Not a lot of hunger but I've been getting lots of liquids in him.

    Hey all!

    @Dice
    Hope your boy is not still home because he's still sick. It is lousy being a sick kid even if you do get to be home. I checked out your web site, not bad content but I expected that.

    Thanks Old One :) My son went to school today. Still a little bit of stuffy nose and cough but he's on the mend. How have you been?

    Just remember that it'll need to be replaced in six months unless you want to be thought of as "so early 2013," Tal. ;)

    What's the deal with all the big brother hyper retail monitoring these days? I keep getting e-mails from Amazon urging me to buy more cell phone chargers and underwear and the Season 3 DVD set of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. :bad:

    That's just because Amazon knows you better than you know yourself. :p

    Pretty much anything I viewed the last time I was browsing there - I haven't actually bought anything off Amazon in some time.
