Gotta love that feeling when you get a new technical book and can't wait to try some of the stuff out. Love the quiet time for projects Anyone else got Geek projects planed for the off season?
I'm organizing my comic books. It's turned out to be a non trivial effort.

An example of a good Bridge hand Yeah, I don't organize my hand just to annoy people
The cards aren't ordered by value in each suit! Totally bugging me. But here's a book recommendation that is both a great story and a tutorial on bridge, The Cardturner by Louis Sachar.
OCD much? just chalk it up to another one of alyssa's quirks yeah a number of folks have suggested that book to me- honestly i have a hard time reading. <<-- ironic no?
Much? I don't know. More than sporadic certainly, maybe occasionally? Dangit there I go again.We listened to The Cardturner on CD, was great like all of Sachar's books. We especially liked the foghorn sounds they used to bracket the technical descriptions of bridge so that people who wanted to could tune out. Now that I think about it, I can't remember any other books about bridge.Picked up 2 books from a discount pile yesterday that looked like they would be scary reads. "The Secret Life of Puppets", with a really creepy cover and a "Complete History of the San Francisco Horror", published around the last time the Cubs won the World Series. When I got home and actually looked at them, found that the first was literary criticism and the other was about the 1906 earthquake
