Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae. - Kurt Vonnegut

Things always look up when you're looking across the lay of the land from a mountain. I love being outdoors and working with my hands, so naturally I sit in an office all day with a desk full of computers.

Deep Purple's 1968 cover of Hush was my summer anthem of 2007. My Fall 2007 anthem is the Rolling Stones' 1969 classic Gimme Shelter. I'd have to say that Creedence Clearwater Revival's Sweet Hitch Hiker was Spring 2008's anthem. So what's the tune this summer? Yonder Mountain's cover of the Rolling Stones' No Expectations. The tune for the Fall has been the Stones' Street Fighting Man. Spring 2009's tune du jour is The Guess Who's No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature. So far, Fall 2009 seems to belong to The Subways' Be My Little Rock & Roll Queen. Don't have a good explanation for that one.
