A Time To Kill

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 | books, entertainment | No Comments

I just finished “A Time To Kill” by John Grisham. It was a pleasure reading this legal thriller. I’ve read”The Pelican Brief” and “The Rainmaker” so I all ready knew that he knew how to write a good story. I look forward to reading more of his writings like ” The Associate” and “The Brethren” and I’m currently looking to find “The Innocent Man” that I’ve heard so much about. I love a good book.

One For the Books

Monday, December 21st, 2009 | Travel/Auto, books, life, weather | No Comments

It finally decided to quit snowing yesterday morning, which left us with 21 inches of snow. They are saying that this storm is one for the record books. It hasn’t snowed this much, so fast in over 150 years, in the month of December. The roads are a mess but life goes on, most people are back to work. It is a good thing that schools are closed for the Christmas holiday season, I’m glad that there aren’t a ton of school buses on the road, that would be asking for trouble!

The Ultimate Spy Thriller by Robert Ludlum

Thursday, December 17th, 2009 | books, entertainment, politics | No Comments

I do enjoy reading a good book. I just finished reading one by Robert Ludlum, entitled Prometheus Deception and was pleasantly surprised with it. It was like watching a James Bond film, a real international spy thriller that was fast paced and full of action. A dead on picture of contemporary corporate strategy that I would encourage anyone to read.

Today’s Open Coursework Websites for College Students

The Internet has become a great way for all types of students to receive assistance with their studies in many fascinating ways. There are social learning networks available 24/7, such as what Coursehero.com has to offer, that I would have killed for back in my college years. I imagine that libraries are not utilized nearly as much, book wise, as when I was researching for the numerous classes that I took. Although many students still use the libraries for the computers that they offer for those that don’t own their own computer to use. Going online to find an Econ Homework Solution or assistance with an Econ Textbook Answer seems the way to go these days. Who would have ever thought?

My niece, who will be attending her second year of college come September, in the Economics field, has found that the Internet has become an increasing valuable tool. She is good about keeping in touch with friends and family with her interesting emails during the school years, I always looked forward to hearing from her and enjoy hearing about college life in the 21st century last year and find myself looking forward, once again to hearing from her through out this year’s school session. Man, how time flies!

Health Issues

I have the sad news to tell about a good friend that has just been diagnosed with mesothelioma, which is a type of cancer that is taking more and more lives with each passing day. It has only been the last couple of years that the general public has heard much about this type of disease. I have found an interesting website that I have been frequenting since his mesothelioma prognosis and have passed the link to him, survivingmesothelioma.com,  in an effort to help him and his family learn more about peritoneal mesothelioma.

This site offers a patients guide to surviving mesothelioma, it is well written and they are supplying newly diagnosed mesothelioma patients with a free copy with just a click of the mouse at their site. The more one knows with what they are dealing with the better and I’m hoping that this may help him in his time of need.

Mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that we all need to learn more about, feel free to take at look at this site for more information.
