Books
Biographies..."Songs My Mother Taught Me" - I highly recommend this to everyone, especially Brando fans.
yep, i'm watching, with the sound on mute...i HATE Fox sports coverage! Mets up 5-1 now, and its an official game, so i don't think Yanks will want it called. Mets will be fine if it doesn't start raining popups to 2nd base!!
