Re: Do You Have a List Of All Your Books?

I use this software to catalog my physical books. I haven't gone back to add ALL the books I owned before I bought the software, but I'm slowly catching up. And I'll also eventually add the e-books...

I remember watching the movie waaaaay back when it came out and thinking it was a story kinda borrowing the Springsteen vibe to get viewers. I don't recall it being a BAD movie, though. Then again, I...

Re: Happy Anniversary Austruck!

At first I thought this was for my actual wedding anniversary, which was Aug. 12... but it was our 24th, not 23rd.

I didn't know he was sick, but I didn't have that shocked reaction at his age. I mean, c'mon. I knew he was older than I am, and I'm 62, so 70 seemed exactly where I would have guessed.
