At Christmas, a good friend gave me a day calendar that has somewhat offbeat sites for each day. Some are long gone - such is the web - some are truly odd. This one is interesting - it’s based on artificial intelligence (I must like it because I have none of my own). Pick a movie, an author or a book, or music and enter it in this site. It will map other works or artists that are similar and you can follow the trail of authors or music, learning of new groups or new books to try. The music one is like a visual verion of Pandora without the music. The books & authors one was fascinating - I put in an author I liked and wham! there was a whole cloud of names, many familiar favorites, and many new ones.

Well, it’s here.

In an effort to help couples communicate better we have for you Night Out Permission Slips. There is one for husbands and one for wives. I would highly recommend that you fill out the forms completely and accurately. Failure to do so will mean trouble, trust me.

Go download the forms and get your paper document that will make a night out sorts legal and stuff.

Me, I’m the wind. I do whatever I want.

Well, I’m lying but you know how it goes.
