  • Friday Five: 1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?My gut reaction is to say novels all the way, but in the last year or two I’ve developed a sudden taste for non-fiction.

  • Sorry for the extended silence. We’re having some problems with our home net connection and I can’t post. (The nerdy explanation: Whenever we go to a page that requires HTTP authentication – i.e. a password – the proxy dies and we get locked out of the site for ten minutes.) So yeah, the Snook’s working…
