Greetings. I'm posting from my Sony E-reader. The browser is a bit clunky but if I'm ever away from my computer and there is an avaiable network and I need a Haines fix it looks like I can do it with this. As Cilla has been known to say, Cool Beans!
Good evening, I spent most of the day in Omaha doing an asylum hearing. I am tired, but the drive was nice. Bright sunny beautiful day. It was 43 degrees in Omaha when I got there
DR Jane and Ginny. I'm still reading The Lacuna. I'm not sure why. I think the biggest problem is I really could care a less about the main character. I don't dislike it enough to quit reading it, but it's close
I really am tired. I worked very hard to get ready for this hearing. I thought it would take an hour or so, we were there from 1:00 until 4:30. The judge said he'll announce his decision in May. So, at least that's a few more months for my client to be here
I, myself, feel very safe tonight in Phoenix, Arizona, knowing that Steven Seagal is on patrol fighting crime in Maricopa County.http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/2011/01/27/20110127maricopa-sheriff-arpaio-crime-immigration-sweep-phoenix-abrk.html

I might have been the only person complaining . I really made a stink that I felt the historical parts of the novel were shouted at me instead of simply being part of the story. I liked the main character more than you seem to.
By time we weere dug out and I was able to leave I got to work an hour late - however I more than made up for it by staying until 8:30

When I reviewed it, I remember comparing the dialogue unfavorably to a Soviet tractor musical.
Hey, now! I think someone stole MY idea:http://www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/01/27/airport.carpets.website/index.html

I mean, really. There are plenty of things right here in the desert that would eat you if you were dead. Like turkey vultures. Or coyotes.
