I’m baaaaaccccck!!!!! After a few days of cyberhybernation, I’m back on the keyboard and ready to link away. I hope you had a good Holiday — I know here at Tiny Wheels Media, LLC we did.

I did read an incredible book: Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura (Seabiscuit) Hillenbrand. I give it ***** out of five.

The Vikings strange odyssey of not being able to play games because of snow continues — Sunday Night Football will be on Tuesday. Favre is doubtful to start.

Apparently the Mayans were thinking of the oil companies when they thought about the world ending: Analysts are predicting gas could be $5 a gallon by 2012. If that happens, say hello to the Great Depression part 2.
Here’s a really over-thinking look at the new version of ‘True Grit”‘s religious take on the world vs. the John Wayne version and the book.
Who Dat? Saints rally to beat the Falcons 17-14 to secure playoff berth.
I just now got around to reading this. I just adore the way you present the news! Good stuff, bad stuff, you always make it more palatable. Thanks and welcome baaaccckkk!
