FanDome - NCAA College Football - Ohio State Buckeyes Team Page – useful buckeye link page, lots o videos.
* “Plato and a Platypus walk into a bar”:amazon by Cathcart and Klein. Philosophy lite. A diverting bathroom book, no more. * “The Alchemist”:amazon by Paulo Coelho. A parable about being true to your dreams. Simplistic. And so kind of appealing but kind of ridiculous. A week later, hasn’t stuck with me. * “Crash Course: Gastrointestinal System”:amazon by Seidel and Long. A western medicine reference to the gastrointestinal system. adequate overview. all trees, no forest tho. * “The Enzyme Factor”:amazon by Hiromi Shinya. Excellent sensible book on health and diet. Based on his long long experience. Contrast with the prior text, very much a forest view. Some very sensible conclusions about diet and lifestyle. Some of the details may not be fully justified (coffee enemas on a regular basis, really??) but the overall discussion is very useful. * “One False Move”:amazon by Harlan Coben. Another myron bolitar tale. Snappy as always. Can’t go wrong with one of these on the beach or the plane. * “Devil May Care”:amazon by Sebastian Faulks. Eh. Pretty rote Bond story with a telegraphed twist. A fine screenplay but pretty tired as a story. Don’t understand the rave reviews this has gotten, there are like thousands of suspense and mystery books that are more interesting

I hope a hundred years from now people look back at 20th century dentistry and shudder at the barbarism of it all.

Heading up later this week and needed a reminder – A Little Ludwig Goes A Long Way » Blog Archive » Hiking on Lopez Island – the shark reef walk is still great and I want to hit Iceberg point again. This map provides some detail on finding the trails, but you really need the chamber handout. If I get one this week I will try to post a scanned copy of.
