Get with the program and your iPod, mp3 player and iTunes library!<br><br>Where's the beer?!<br><br>OK, moving on......I first encountered the Fleet Foxes playing at Starbuck's last summer. I downloaded this excellent selection on iTunes shortly after. Good choice!<br><br>The John Adams biography is excellent. The HBO mini series last year did a lot to bring this great man to light in our country. And yes, being a history minor in college I knew that he and Jefferson died on the same day. Your other book will now be bought and not read, along with several others. I'm a firm believer that you can't collect enough books, music and beer!<br><br>Haven't seen Slumdog yet. I must be the last man on the planet who hasn't. There's a long list of movies that I want to see on the big screen theater dating back to the new James Bond. Waiting for On-Demand, where I can DVR it and still not watch it!<br><br>I really want to see the 80 Faiths! I'm jealous of the "Drink to Britain", which is what me and Sir Bowie thought we'd do in July!<br><br>I made an excellent Veal Scallopini dish the other night for Lady Allwinky. I like to cook, but I don't do it often enough.<br><br>Finally, might I offer a title for this section?

New Grass Revival and Bela Fleck.<br><br>Surfing: Working on a book project, so I've been surfing categories for that. All over the place.<br><br>Book: Just finished "Happier Than God" by Neale Donald Walsch; will probably move on to early American pioneer history.<br><br>Film: "Yes Man"<br><br>TV: "24" This is the first season (out of 7) that we've actually watched some of it in real time -- at least within the week it aired.<br><br>Cooking: Not a particular food, but I am going to work with cooking using a dutch oven over an open fire.<br><br>Sir BowieSir Bowie of Greenbriar (a.k.a.
