Technology after 7 PM

So, I was trying to post and I accidentally signed on as another blog member and can't seem to delete one of me. After a certain time of day, I really need to stay away from computers.

But, what I wanted to say was that I, too, miss a nice book store. I drove Julie back to St. Paul this morning and remembered there was a nice book store on Grand Avenue but it was empty. I stopped in Woodbury where I thought there was a Barnes & Noble but it was a Borders so it was empty. And tonight I was wandering around BAM looking for some funny books for Sam for Christmas. The humor section was filled with books about bodily functions, red-necks, and zombies. I did find David Sedaris hidden below the Bull***t book.

I'm in the early weeks of Forensics (speech competitions, not crime) so I'm reading lots of short story collections. McSweeny's is very cool and Etgar Keret is quite a find. But not appropriate for high school kids. If anyone has an idea for an 8 to 12 minute funny (and PG rated) piece of prose, let me know. I did start listening to the Henrietta Lacks book while I was decorating the tree. Not the best choice to get into the spirit of the season, but interesting.
