Lost reading time
I have a stack of books that I will not get to until homework ceases to exist. From top to bottom, the top five are: “Duma Key” by Stephen King, “Rock On” by Dan Kennedy, “Nothing’s Sacred” by Lewis Black, “Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs” by Chuck Klosterman, and “Kingdom of Fear” by Hunter S. Thompson.

Breaking the ice
It seems it is that time of year again to walk to school in the crisp morning air and deviate from your path only to shatter the thin breakable sheets of ice that gather in the gutters and shadows, that satisfying sound pairing all to well with the cold breath emanating from your grin.

You rock, Hamp
Jazz Fest starts today. Before everyone lets out their collective groans … stop. Take a second and think about what goes into putting on the festival. I bet everyone knows at least one person, performing, volunteering, feeding, driving and supporting someone or some aspect of the Jazz Festival.
For everyone involved, thank you for doing an awesome job. Now excuse me while I throttle a 12-year-old running amok on campus.

It’s no Bullwinkle
With all the snow across North Idaho, wildlife are being pushed down into towns to look for food. In Moscow it’s just deer, but in my hometown of Sandpoint, it’s moose. Despite their depiction on TV cartoons, moose are the largest, dumbest and most aggressive animals in the woods today. If you happen to see a moose, may I advise you to leave it alone.
Don’t make noise or honk at it, as it will probably charge you. Man vs. moose just isn’t a winning battle.

Taco cuteness
So my dog’s latest obsession is his Nylabone. He picks it up and sits down in front of me like any normal dog wanting to play fetch. But no, Taco is insane. So when I reach down to take the bone and throw it, he leaps up on his stubby legs then runs as fast as he possibly can (which is pretty fast for a little guy) around and around and around my house. Then he’ll stop, Nylabone still firmly grasped in his teeth, and start the process over.
I love my dog.

As the world turns
Yesterday morning Fidel Castro stepped down as the President of Cuba. This is a reminder that age, if not political will, will keep the global political climate in constant change. As there are no gated neighborhoods in the global community, it is never a bad idea to be informed about who is leading the house next door.

The law
I really do not like most of the programming on FOX, but I forgot how amazing it is to be able to watch reruns of “Perry Mason” again. He’s the awesome TV lawyer who can never lose a case and never has a guilty client, even when he has to defend himself. The show originally aired in the 50s, but somehow continues to be a great show. Plus there are all kinds of nostalgic themes such as smoking in the office and taking his secretary out to steak and dancing. So good.

My nostalgic life
It took me a while to notice ABC added “My So Called Life” episodes to their list of streaming videos on the Web, but now that I have, I am a very happy camper.
It’s one of the best shows for remembering life in the ‘90s and the acting isn’t too shabby either. There are days I can still identify with Claire Danes’ character, and somewhere I just want to wrap myself up in an oversized plaid flannel shirt and crush on pre-30 Seconds to Mars Jared Leto.
