a pause for a breath of fresh air ... and reminder of the benefits of
commerce on the web.
some of you i've told offline - but i've discovered in the past two weeks
that i have high blood pressure. there's a family history of heart disease,
but the only folks that have been hit in their 40s have been male. i've
been a bit bummed, to say the least.
one of my friends recommended i take a look at a book called "The Anatomy
of the Spirit" - she even suggested i look at Amazon.Com. I did -- and low
and behold -- at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0609800140/o/qid=912271820/sr=2-1/002-195
0410-1899029
i found reader reviews from South Africa, Canada and the UK. i can't
remember seeing this kind of varied geographic review spread before.
a reminder of the power of e-commerce -- at least thru words and books.
