Is the Pen Mightier than the Keyboard? →
When it comes to journaling, I prefer pen on paper (or stylus on screen) to typing. I find that O am able to express my thoughts better when writing it out rather than typing it out.

Frequent Haunts: Mark Reads
Usually, review sites are not on my daily web browsing list. They get listed on my RSS feed, I glance at them, if something catches my eye I linger on the article and move on. However, Mark Reads is a review site with a twist, and for some reason I cannot bring myself to stay away. He started with the Twilight series, then moved on to Harry Potter and he’s now reviewing the Hunger Games...

Introducing Cameron Stracher
I can’t find an updated website for Cameron Stracher, but he does have a bio on Amazon.com. Cameron was born and raised in Roslyn, Long Island. I live 15 minutes from Roslyn, have been there a few times to visit friends and use the local pool, so I feel that Long Island connection. (^_^)
It goes on to talk about his Law history, something that you can also find on his Wiki page. At the...
