Crichton

I forgot how much I enjoy reading Michael Crichton. I just finished Next and thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though his works are fiction, he did such extensive research that I always come away feeling I learned something while being entertained. I, more often than not, find it hard to read just a few chapters when I pick up one of his books. They definitely suck me into them. It is a shame that this talent passed away so soon. I am sure there were many more interesting books left in him. Now than I have read everything that he has written I guess I will have to find a new favorite. Dammit.

A Country Divided

Come on. I don't care if you are black or white. Gay or straight. Christian, Islamic, Jewish or Atheist. Democrat or Republican. When is everyone going to realize that we are all American and in this for the haul? How about a little share of fault, share of responsibility, share of accountability? Stop all of the finger pointing and childish behaviors and let's try working together for a change. Who knows, it might just help!
