    You are blowing my mind, Mr. McGuire. Can’t wait to hear more. I’m typing this to you on my computer which is utilizing the internet, i mean, book. Oh, i’m so confused…

    I still like curling up with my book when I go to bed. Curling up with the internet…doesn’t sound as lovely.
    And yes, I know what a Kindle or a Kobo is. And spent (too much) of my day on-line.
    I am intrigued.
    Soon?
