Hi Gman! How have you been?

Pretty fair. Some good days; some, not so good.

I have times like that too. Today has been tough emotionally. I guess I didn't think that New Year's would be an emotional day for me. I had myself all psyched up to deal with Christmas and I got through it ok, that I didn't even consider New Year's to be a problem.

Sometimes it seems every day starts a new year.

Well, they do say everyday is a chance for a new beginning.

Did you ever decide on an e-reader?

ditto to that!

Rooting for a better year for all of PWA actually - it's been a tough year for several of the family....

I decided not to decide.

Thanks! Yes I think we all need a better year in many ways!

Ok. You can always download kindle or nook apps for the pc if you want to give it a test drive.

zea3 wrote:Thanks! Yes I think we all need a better year in many ways!

Yeah, ditto that.

zea3 wrote:Thanks! Yes I think we all need a better year in many ways!

I'd settle for any way.

Hi Poof! I was sorry to hear about your bil. How is everyone holding up?

zea3 wrote:Ok. You can always download kindle or nook apps for the pc if you want to give it a test drive.

Something to consider, I guess.

AZGman wrote:Something to consider, I guess.

What kind of books do you like to read? I used to read romances but that is out so I am looking into other reading genres.

Right now, okay. Hard to tell long term once the holidays are over.

I have about a dozen books I like to re-read.

AZGman wrote:I have about a dozen books I like to re-read.

I am thinking of trying mystery or detective stories. Currently going old school with some Sherlock Holmes.

My faves are essentially SF/fantasy and spy/ cold war fiction.

Who are you?

The spy stuff sounds interesting. Do you have any favorite writers?

zea3 wrote:The spy stuff sounds interesting. Do you have any favorite writers?

Le Carre; Ludlum.

On a totally unrelated note, the black eyed peas I made in the crockpot turned out quite well! I have always hated the canned ones but mom insisted we eat them every New Year. I made fresh ones in her honor. My oldest needs to get home before I eat them all!

AZGman wrote:Le Carre; Ludlum.

I'll check them out when I finish my current book. Thanks for the information!

Read Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy - The Hollow Hills, The Crystal Cave, and The Last Enchantment.

I also highly recommend Watership Down.

All are very dated, but excellent reads (and re-reads!)

I think you'll especially like Watership Down.

I have Stewart's. They were good.

They are my favorite interpretation of the Arthurian legend.

Time for me to turn in. Goodnight folks!

Come back soon!!! G'night Zea.

Happy New Year about 24 hours late. Company leaving tomorrow and a couple of days to get ready for more. Weather has been gorgeous, but I do need to get a new pool heater and cleaner onboard. My own PT exercises are suffering as well.

Glad to see you Zea, also Poof, glad you are back. Ice, the fight sounds hilarious in a very sad way Been there, Seen that.

Here's wish good health and a lot of happiness to everyone in 2012.

A double post for a giggle or two?
