One Week Until Christmas – Oh My!
Can you believe that one week from today is x-mas. I swear, it was just October a few days ago! Fortunately, thanks to the wonderful world of online shopping, I’m all set for gifts. But, like many of you out there, I have family coming over which means a lot of cooking and cleaning. Good luck to all of you who are braving the holidays and may you have a very happy and healthy holiday season!

Book Review – Grisham’s The Broker
So, I just finished reading The Broker. I thought it was pretty good – if you like the whole governmental conspiracy thing. Grisham is classic for this kind of stuff, although I was a bit surprised there was no sort of trial in it. This time a powerbroker, who was the main character, was the guy in trouble. The book takes you on a whirl wind tour of protective custody to Bologna and back to DC. It was interesting and held my attention throughout. However, at times, I did think it was a bit over the top since the character – a DC broker, seemed to be as savvy as the worlds top spies and secret agents…a bit of a stretch, but that’s why it is meant for enjoyment. I’d give this book 1 1/2 thumbs up!
