Just finished the very good book "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon ... really interesting stuff .. lead character has Asperger's Syndrome and is a young man (15 or 16) in Swindon, UK .. he narrates the book and gives a wonderful voice to the novel ... he also loves math and has trouble with crowds ... fascinating book ****

Another review .. just saw Anthony Bourdain's show "No Reservations" on the DVR from Monday ... In general I would give the show **** .. Bourdain is a great writer and a wonderful host .. I have been to his restaraunt "Les Halles" on 28th and Park Ave South before I moved to Maine and it was quite good **** .. His book "Restaraunt Confidential was also very good ***1/2 ...

This show in Japan this week was one of the best so far .. It went to Osaka, a food capital of the country and to the hills and mountains inland .. The show was brilliant, fun and made me want to go to a Hanshin Tigers baseball game ... One of the best shows this side of the first show on Paris .. and what's great about the French ****1/2 ... Try to catch it on the Travel Channel some time this week ...

Its been wet in Maine the last few days but I think good things are ahead .. may all your dreams come true ..

blessed be...
