i am a little hesitant at sounding crassly commercial, but, here goes...(in my best announcer voice)

looking for a nice cd, book, video or other interesting item in print that i have mentioned on my little site? well, you can start you search here at amazon.com in the states or amazon.co.uk in the uk. (end of my best announcer voice... i sure wish i had a throat lozenge after that.)

now, i won't lie to you, amazon is not paying me to advertise their link on my page, but, i do get a little something when you go through my page to make a purchase and you know bandwidth is not free. so, if you have to do a little on-line shopping, i hope that you will remember to use my little page to link to amazon for your on-line shopping needs.

yes, you can borrow books at the library, and if you don't all ready have a library card, well shame on you. stop what you are doing and get one right now. but, if you really want to buy a book or a cd or a book on tape that you have enjoyed, please think of me, ok?

also, if you are thinking of browsing for a nice gift for a someone special consider going through my site to amazon to look around. if something catches your eye and you buy it, i'll get a little something.

so, if you've already made up your mind to buy your mom a new electric toothbrush, your dad a nice pair of socks or an entertaining dvd for yourself, just hop off to amazon and all the stores that are associated with them from here and you'll get the satisfaction of a nice purchase and knowing that you have helped support my little world. (yes, i'd be happy to help you with a gift suggestion or two if you drop me a note with some details. it's the least that i could do.)

enough said. now, hold your library card up so that i can see it... ok? good. i feel better now.
