What's Woody Doing Now

Getting Ready to Go Silent

United Airlines is not Air Trans Airlines. There is no WiFi on board or at least not in the cattle car section. Also, I refuse to give up my arm and leg for a short suck on an Europe WiFi hot spot.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I just sang Happy Birthday to myself.

I am sitting at gate 22 at the Indianapolis airport. Then to Washington Dulles to Brussels to Kinshasa in 23 hours. It is a light day for travel. Hint, that's the reason I was able to find a reasonable priced ticket.

Unbelievable, a 'William Collins' was checking in for flight to. Russia.

Poverty Books: The 2009 MUST reading list

I must update my Amazon Wish List.  From Steve's Reading List below, I totally missed some good ones.  Many of the books, I am waiting to read or have read.

Also, Steve did not mention books like "Three Cups of Tea", "The Power of Unreasonable People", "Mountains beyond Mountains", and few others I would add. 

Thanks to Steve at zyOzy Foundation Blog!

Don't Read The Fine Print

Triple means three. The triple photo frame holds three
pictures. The fine print is wrong indicating it holds two pictures.
