Got a call from Kristin


on Saturday morning. She was keeling over from reading the Kirk(us)Reviews. And you should too. Well, I ordered all this cool stuff from Amazon.com myself. No way I can crawl into the office to get it. Won't be seeing any of it until I manage to also order a pair of snowshoes. Holy Cow.! How can I get the snowshoes?? Life is just one big mystery. So but that's okay because I've been painting some really awful stuff. See my art website: http://www.jeannelafferty.com/. Read my blog. Okay, the tomatoes were a stretch.


Here's a selection from the Scientific American Book Club: Avoid Boring People. By James D. Watson. Wow, is this one of the guys that discovered the double helix? Betcha he really knows how to avoid boring people. But so do I. Wait til he sees my book on the subject. Does Crick have a book on this as well?


Gotta go do something unproductive.
