There are few things I hate more in a movie review than when the reviewer can't stop talking about how much better the book was. Most times, you haven't read the book.

In the long run you can get good grades and be successful financially, but the key factor in being successful in life is whether...

Up on a lake in Northern Michigan--I don't really care whether it's prairies or mountains, as long as it's not a city....I'm pretty much happy with anything at anytime, so it's hard to say. I guess if I can look back at what I've done since college and been of some use and done...
