Share!Morning all,

Today school starts!  Can you imagine anything else so joyful (except perhaps, doing 400 pushups yesterday)?  :)

Many a parent has asked "Why are you reading that trash?" when considering their son or daughter as they devoured the contents of a luridly jacketed science fiction book.

    interesting post. and it’s true. sometimes some headlines just have a way of drawing readers in. a lot of the top 10 lists for example.
