Investing time to Read

yes, i'm very slow this week. i had great time with all the folks at Borders in Dayton, OH last Friday. it's one of my favorite places to play because the crowds are always so friendly. and also in Canton, OH at Muggswigz. A big thanks to Mickey Perez for being there and ready to carry equipment as well as to Mike, Sabrina and Alycia who helped out in Dayton. One of these days we'll get Alycia to get up and play some songs with me.

Anyway, this heat is nearly unbearable. Thank God for the pool and A/C. I don't know about you folks, but it wouldn't be summer without having a book to read by the pool. I force myself to finish at least one book each summer and this year it was "Casino Royale" by Ian Fleming. I guess it's going to be the next 007 movie, so I thought I'd catch a glimpse early to see if my song, "In Reference to James Bond" would be something I could pitch for the film. It's strange how different the books are from the movies so I don't know that I still have much of an idea. Good book though, I'd like to read the rest. Instead I'm reading "Rich Dad's Guide to Investing." I don't really care about being rich, just need a plan to keep the stress of it all out of my daily life.

Also, in case you don't know, there's a national sales tax plan that is gaining support on Capital Hill. The idea is that it would replace April 15th--no more tax day! This is wonderful for me since I loathe making decisions in my business and life based on our tax laws. I'm sure it's mostly because I haven't figured out how to capitalize on the deal yet. Anyway, check it out and let us know what you think. www.fairtax.org.

So, what are all of you doing this summer?
