Let’s face it, every minute counts. You don’t have extra ones waiting to be spend in queue at a toll booth with smarter drivers whizzing through at speed to the left of you. So buy the iPass.

Two Hippos Make an Island: Country Inns and Suites by Carlson
Posted in two hippos make an island, tagged Chicago, Indiana, travel on August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Although a handful of stays in a given chain’s hotels—like a single robin and the anticipated Spring—does not a success story make, it at least points in the right direction. During a recent overnight in the Merrillville, Indiana, variant of the Country Inn and Suites, I was reminded that my experience with this brand has [...]
the quiet sport: Fly Fisherman magazine

One of the endearing features of the monthly magazine Fly Fisherman is its tag line: ‘the leading magazine of the quiet sport’.
finding your way to the right college or university: Barron’s Educational Series, Profiles of American Colleges with CD-ROM (Barron’s Profiles of American Colleges)
Posted in paterfamilias, reseña, tagged colleges and universities, reseña on August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Guides to colleges tend to convey either statistical reportage derived from the college itself or anecdotal subjectivity provided by the school’s students and other constituencies. The Barron’s Guides lean strongly in the first of these two directions.
Maybe we should send little Johnny to that one: Princeton Review, Best 357 Colleges, 2005 Edition (College Admissions Guides)
Posted in paterfamilias, reseña, tagged colleges and universities, reseña on August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The Princeton Review Best 357 Colleges is a fun read. Whether it’s an accurate selection of the 357 best or a clear portrayal of what the chosen few have to offer is another matter. It’s impossible to tell, though the valuable commentary you get in the Princeton Review is a good supplement to factual date [...]
Hannukah and Christmas every day: Seinfeld. Seasons 1, 2 and 3 (DVD)
Posted in reseña, tagged film, Jerry Seinfeld, reseña on August 31, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I was living in England when Seinfeld was in its third or fourth season, blissfully unaware of what people were talkabout with this ‘Seinfeld’ thing when I read in a magazine that you’d have to be hidden in a remote corner of the Amazon to not be into this show. I obviously was in a [...]

Sally’s book: Sally Stuart, Christian Writers’ Market Guide 2006. The Reference Tool for the Christian Writer (Christian Writers’ Market Guide)
Posted in reseña, tagged reseña, writing on August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I attended a Christian Writer’s Conference two years ago, a dizzying initiation into the subculture that produces much of the written material that American (at least) Christians read. There I heard reverential references to Sally Stuart’s annual publication and dutifully picked up my copy at the bookstand.
Relational Development 101: Gerald H. Twombly, Funding Your Vision. New Hope for Non-Profits
Posted in clarity, reseña, tagged Jerry Twombley, leadership, management, not-for-profit sector on August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
My friend ‘JT’ has written this brief book in order to present in narrative format the gist of his life-long work empowering non-profits through his firm DMA, Inc. If you are particularly skeptical of friends’ reviews (which you should be at least a little bit), you may wish to stop reading now.
a shining and affirmative thing: Naomi Ragen, Jephthe’s Daughter (Readers Guide Editions)
Posted in reseña, tagged Israeli literature, literature, reseña on August 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It is difficult to categorize this seductive first novelistic offering by Naomi Ragen. Somewhat sheephishly, this middle-aged, white, male reviewer confesses its tones of over-written girly pop, an aspect that explains its being laid aside half-read for six months before it jumped back into my suitcase and lured me into a hungry, late-night series of [...]
