I saw that right above ASPL on the NY Times Best Sellers.
Conched: It's one scary a$$ book. I'm about to go out on the web and find some "real" reviews of it before I write mine. With his rep as a scientist and with all the real footnotes, it makes for very interesting reading. No spoilers here, but I will recommend it.

Jen: I need you to read STATE OF FEAR and then tell me if Crichton's research is right. This one is going to keep me up nights until I sort it out. He said he read research on global warming for three years before starting the book, so I figure I'll have an opinion ready somewhere before I hit 70!!!! :o

Key Weird should be on Amazon and in a few Florida bookstores in a couple of weeks. If we can get one of the big book distributors to pick it up, it may be available nationwide by the of end of next month.

Thanks Mango. Anyone who enjoys Jimmy's style of writing should check out this book. It's a breezy and fun read.

Thanks Mango!!
I just won Tim Dorsey's "Torpedo Juice" on ebay for $16.99.
Well, I didn't exactly win it, I did it the "buy it now" way.

Now I'm gonna have to look into Key Weird!!!

I'm still re-reading A Pirate Looks At 50 and loving every minute of it.

I'm listening to ASPL while I do the treadmill.
