They do. Fart is one of our kids' favorite words. My wife blames this on me. She has a point. Thankfully, I am forgiven

This reminds me of daughters being 7 and 4 or 8 and 5.....I'm not sure how old they were but in that time frame, my older daughter rushes in the house to tell me that her younger sister just said the *F* word. I was totally mortified because we don't say the *F* word. I asked my older daughter what her younger sister said and she replied "Fart." Mom, she said Fart." While I don't like that word either, I was somehow happy to hear it. Kids say the darndest things, don't they?

The sort of fame all of us should aspire to!

That's a good question! The rest of us have our families, faith and friends. Isn't it amazing what happens when one becomes a celebrity? Knock me over with a feather. ...I've been married for 46 years. I'm very proud of that........we've had our ups and downs but we have 2 kids and 8 grandkids. Life doesn't get much better and we're not in the lime light.

Glad you enjoyed it as well! I've taught it to myself on the guitar, and I'm hoping to teach Mika & Caedmon to accompany it on the ukulele!

I imagine that last part is the most dangerous aspect of the crossover from hard copy to digital! It's already dangerously disconnected enough buying books from Amazon online - I can't imagine the ease of the monetary bleed if it were instantaneous and more literally transparent!

The Kindle is nice. I like it even more than I thought I would. Plus all the shelf space you save. I wouldn't recommend for reference type books, it's not so good for flipping back and forth. If you get the 3G version you can download a book anywhere anytime. Which is both a blessing and a curse since Amazon has your CC# and it doesn't even feel like you have to pay for the books.

Those definitely sound like interesting reads. I've heard of them both, but my reading queue is so long, I fear I may never get through it as it is!

I haven't gotten a Kindle yet, though the temptation is growing.....

Just finished re-reading, "The Irrational Atheist: dissecting the unholy trinity of Dawkins, Harris and Hitchens" by Vox Day. Day shows atheism's claims against religion are logically, factually and scientifically unfounded. If you have a Kindle it's a cheap download.

About to start "Saving Leonardo A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, & Meaning" by Nancy Pearcey.

Or at least I will attempt to start it until some other new and shiny book catches my eye. I can't count the number of books I have only half-read.
