Although one may think to write about your mom on Mother's Day, it is really not a suitable substitute for a telephone call. Learn from me on this one.
Other notes:
I had to re-start The Picture of Dorian Gray as I had too much business reading [and a few tornadoes] since I last picked up the read. I kept thinking about ROI with the painting and thought perhaps that was a bad idea. Re-start.
GBC Pa1ge shared a story regarding Happiness which just aired on CBS Sunday morning this week. It mentions a recent read, The Happiness Project, as well as In the Long Run: A Father, A Son, and Unintentional Lessons in Happiness by Jim Axelrod. Rubin says "do"; Axelrod mentions "connect" and proposes it is the connections we make (in a place or with people) that bring us a little closer to happiness.
Finally, if you tire of the competition, here is a clever idea via The Guardian for the bookseller who wants to feature his own work. A library of one? It may just work for Martian Summer by Andrew Kessler. Book and science nerds, please buy this from the "monobookist" rather than Amazon. He did go through quite a bit of effort.
