I have read about 4 books my Nelson DeMille now, but this one was great.  Not that the other ones were bad but this one was up and above all the  rest.  Kept me on the seat of my pants and because I was listening to it, I found that I didn&#8217;t want to get out of the car when I got to destinations.

<p>Its well worth the listen/read!</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Hey I did something tonight I haven&#8217;t done in a long time.  I went out and looked at my blogroll and read a few pages and left a few comments.  I know I haven&#8217;t been very wordy other then to talk about books, but I&#8217;m swamped  at work to a point I have never been in my life.  I&#8217;m getting in at 8:30 and leaving at 7:00 and I&#8217;m still not getting everything done.  We have brought 4 new people in in the last month and 1/2 and I have spent all my time trying to get them up to speed and it hasn&#8217;t left me any time to actually get any work done till after 5 and that really sucks.  At least its not baseball season.  B1 started his soccer league this past weekend, which is the first time he has played in 4 years.  I missed it because I thought I was some young stud jock that could play softball and I screwed up my back the Monday before his game and didn&#8217;t get on my feet again till this Monday, but I have gotten really good a typing while laying on my back with the laptop sort of on my lap.</p>

<p>So coming back around to my big wow has to do with my journey through my blogroll to fiind that I was listed as a first link on <a title="The Ridiculously Mundane" href="http://www.dlee.us/" target="_blank">Dan&#8217;s Site</a>.  So made my day.</p>

<p>Also I would like to send my love out to all the well wishers who cheered my up as I went through another bout with my back.  </p>]]>

<strong>Appetizer</strong><br />
Describe your laundry routine. Do you have a certain day when you do it all, or do you just wash whatever you need for the next day?<div class="answer">I put it into the basket and magically later in the week, it will show up in the drawers and on the hangers again.</div><br />
<strong>Soup</strong><br />
In your opinion, what age will you be when you’ll consider yourself to truly be old?<div class="answer">When I was in 3rd grade I thought 23 was old, when I was 23 I thought 40 was old, now that I&#8217;m almost 40, old is always about 20 years out from what I am.</div><br />
<strong>Salad</strong><br />
What is one of your goals? Is it short-term, long-term, or both?<div class="answer">Wake up tomorrow.  I guess that is pretty short term.</div><br />
<strong>Main Course</strong><br />
Name something unbelievable you’ve seen or read lately.<div class="answer">Nothing comes to mind.</div><br />
<strong>Dessert</strong><br />
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how happy are you today?<div class="answer">About and 8, it is Friday, but I&#8217;m still working so that is where the other 2 are.</div><br />]]>

Had this one on the list for a bit, but finally got to read it and man was it well worth the wait.  Tim is sitting in a bar when  man walks in and asks if he is the man and not know what he is doing he says yes, the man hands him an envelope, with $10,000 and a picture of the woman he wants killed.  Before he can question the man, he leaves.  In comes the killer and Tim gives him the money and sends him on his way keeping the picture and the Roller Coaster ride starts there and is up and down till its conclusion.</p>

<p>I have found that <a href="http://www.deankoontz.com/" target="_blank">Dean Koontz's</a> books are just getting better and better with every new one that he comes out with.  Well worth the read<!-- BEGIN Media Manager Post Footer --><div class="mmanager-post-footer left pkg"><div class="mmanager-post-buynow"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=0553804812%26tag=stsfamil-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/0553804812%253FSubscriptionId=1XGEWRX1SYEYRQ63YAR2"><img src="http://www.stfam.com/mt-static//plugins/MediaManager/images/buy-from-tan.gif" border="0" height="28" width="90" /></a></div></div><!-- END Media Manager Post Footer --></p>]]>
