This is not to say that I would not accept a popcorn tin from you. I will.

What did you give for Christmas last year? A sweater? A CD, or DVD? Perhaps a decorative bowl?Maybe this year, you should give something that has some real meaning, like, say, LIFE.You can give the gift of life, and health, and cures for diseases, to any person you know who's expecting a newborn baby. You can do that by giving a Cryo-Cell Gift Certificate.Cryo-Cell is an innovative company that offers parents of newborns a chance to collect and store cord blood stem cells - -stem cells that could be useful in treating 70 different diseases ranging from leukemia to diabetes to cerebral palsy; their company can educate expectant parents about how this works and the benefits to their child from storing that cord blood.And you can help those parents learn by giving them a gift certificate in any amount ($50 increments) to help them store cord blood stem cells that may someday benefit their unborn child-- even saving his or her life.Doesn't that beat a sweater, or one of those popc...

Mateo and McHale Update!
2008-10-31 15:39:00
Imagine if everytime your child got sick, you had to wonder "Is this the flu, or is this something that's going to require me to run him to the emergency room for another surgery?"And then imagine that you'd already done that, already run your little boy to the hospital for surgery, had to hold his hand while they gave him anesthetic and then had to sit in the hall and wait and hope that he made it through surgery -- and then imagine that you'd done that already 10, 15, 20 or more times.That's life for Ryan and Angie Shaw -- that and insurmountable medical bills they face after their twins, Mateo and McHale, were born conjoined and then beat the odds to survive the separation.Ryan and Angie and Mateo and McHale don't let that kind of trouble get them down; even though this week everyone in the family was sick, Angie reports in her Caring Bridge Journal:Besides being sick the boys are doing really good. They love to talk, sing and play. It seems like they have their own little ...

Blog while driving, blog without typing -- like, say, if Mr Bunches is sitting on your lap, blog at the same speed you think. That all sounds good to me, especially the last part. I think very quickly. Typing? Not so much. I average about, oh, 3 words per minute. And when you've got a lot to say, that's not so great.That's why I was so interested in this article I found that says I can Type at 150 WPM for $99!.

The Best Book That Never Actually Existed (But Should)
2008-10-30 16:57:00
October Is Book Month wraps up by considering a book that never existed.Yesterday, while coming up with a couple of mild japes (it's a real word) about the two NFL teams that have yet to win a game (an annual obsession of mine), I invented, on the spot, a book that never existed, but should (John Tyler: Space President For Hire.) The idea for that book then settled into my imagination as I drove home from work last night listening to "All I Want Is You" from the Juno soundtrack, and I thought maybe that should be a book.But I didn't yet add it to the list of things I might write someday in my tattered notebook of ideas because I was driving (which wouldn't keep me from writing things in my notebook) and I didn't have a pen (which would.)I did, though, add the idea of books that never existed to the mental list of things that I wanted to write about on here, and I decided that books that never existed would be a good way to wrap up October Is Book Month for the year.Authors have...

I have a Wordpress Blog, called "The Trouble With Roy" where I from time-to-time publish what I think of as the best of what I put on here and my other blogs -- a way to help spread the word and get my writing out to people that otherwise might not come across it, which I like to do because I like to write and I like to get paid for writing -- and more people reading my stuff equals more money for me to write it equals more writing for people to read... and you get the drift.So I was instantly interested in the Wordpress themes and plugins available in the Wordpress Power Pack. This pack, with seven instant themes for a buck, can professionalize any Wordpress blog and help make it more noticeable, more high-quality, and more profitable. The proof is right on the site that's selling them -- top Google page rank and sample Wordpress themes side-by-side.

The Best Secondary Character In A Book.
2008-10-27 15:12:00
October Is (Still) Book Month!I had to get reading glasses the other day; I get headaches at the end of the day and dry eyes and the doctor thought maybe it was from working on a computer, so I went out and bought myself two pairs of reading glasses, one for home and one for work, that I wear when I work on the computer.I like to think of it as a reading injury. I always remember that scene in "Jaws" when the guys on the boat compared their old injuries and scars and told stories about how they got them. I've never been athletic enough to have a sports injury, or at least not a cool sports injury. I do have bad knees from fencing when I was too fat to really fence well but since the injury came from being heavy, not from, say, being stabbed, I don't talk about it much. I've never had a job dangerous enough to get me a cool injury to brag about, either; the closest I came was when I burned my wrist on a bun-toaster at McDonald's when I was sixteen (I still have the scar!).But...

Shame On America Sunday: Corporate Tunnel & Sports Lovers.
2008-10-26 17:59:00
This week, the health care crisis really hit home. On Friday night, my dad left a message for me asking me to call him as soon as I could. I wasn't able to return his call until Saturday afternoon, and before I could return his call, I had breakfast with the in-laws on Saturday morning.During that breakfast, my mother-in-law relayed to me that she had recently received a bill for her "treatments," a procedure she gets every month at the hospital. The bill was for $750, for two months worth of treatments; the bill was her 20% of the cost of the monthly treatments, which she says "keep her alive."After that breakfast, in the afternoon, when I called my dad back, I learned that he had just been diagnosed with, in his words, "corporate tunnel syndrome," a development that he believed stemmed from a wrist injury he suffered at work and the physical therapy he's been going through.Both my mother-in-law and my dad asked me, specifically, to look into their situations because I'm a la...

The Best Book That Really Was Scary.
2008-10-22 23:50:00
October Is Book Month continues!Note the actual title of this nomination. It's not The Best Scary Book, it's The Best Book That Really Was Scary.When I watch horror movies (hang with me; I'll get back to books in a second) I have a couple of rules: Lights have to be off. No stopping the movie for any reason. And I don't leave the movie, at all.I started those rules because I tried to watch The Exorcist on regular TV, with commercial interruptions, while the kids were home. And it was not scary at all. Nothing says "Don't be scared" more than a Tide commercial.I also tested those rules, with Oldest. When I told her that The Amityville Horror was the scariest movie I'd ever seen, she doubted me, so we watched it and I made her watch it my way -- no lights, no bathroom breaks. And she was scared, even though the special effects in that movie are essentially some Christmas lights and chocolate syrup.I watch horror movies that way because horror movies require, to really sc...

Not "Plastics." That's outdated. It's "Photo Calendars" now.

There are, as I write this, only 5,529,600 seconds left until Christmas presents -- and you just used a few of those reading that sentence. And a few more now. And now.That sense of urgency you feel as those seconds tick away is you needing to begin thinking about shopping NOW, not 200 seconds from now, not even 20 seconds from now. The more time you spend NOT thinking about Christmas presents right now, the more likely it is you're going to screw it up when you finally rush out at 9:00 a.m. on December 23 to buy presents.I will save you valuable seconds by giving you a great idea for a present, right now, right here (I had to say it that way to avoid lawsuits from Jesus Jones.

The Best Book I Want To Re-read Over And Over Again.
2008-10-20 16:50:00
October Is Book Month Continues!Here's the thought I had the other day: We do so many things over and over in our lives. Which is really crazy, given how much there is to see and do and taste and touch and try.On my iPod, for example, I have 9,115 songs. But I've played the song Crimson & Clover by Tommy James and The Shondells, 40 times since I downloaded it. With 9,115 songs to choose from, I go back all the time to Crimson & Clover.Or reruns. We have a DVR, and I've many times, laying in bed at night or having a rare moment to watch TV on a weekend afternoon, opted to watch a rerun of The Critic or King of Queens instead of, say, the new episodes of House that I taped, or continue the third season of Lost or some unwatched Battlestar episodes.There's a whole aisle of cereal and yet most of the time I eat Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch.Now, some things have to be repeated; take the book So Big by Elmo.

Shame On America Sunday: Where Will We Ever Get The Money Edition?
2008-10-19 18:45:00
This week, I got a little caught up on my magazine reading, and I was both concerned and given the idea for today's Shame On America Sunday when I first read, in Newsweek, that the next president would have a big mess on his hands (true enough) because he would not have the money to pay for ambitious social programs (a lie, and a stupid one, at that.)Then, I read in Entertainment Weekly, that there are currently six shows filming in one of the boroughs of New York City, and that it costs an average of $3 million dollars per episode to film in New York City. Those shows film there for various reasons, including (in the case of "Life on Mars,") that Brooklyn can look like Boston but has wider streets, and including for realism.Six shows. Most regular series have 22 episodes per year, so that means that the cost of filming those six television shows, alone, $396 million. It always looks more impressive with the zeroes, so here goes:$396,000,000 is what the United States can afford ...

The Best Author I Have Exactly 39 Reasons For Liking.
2008-10-15 16:07:00
John Irving is The Best Author I Have Exactly 39 Reasons For Liking, and here are those reasons, in the order I thought of them [SPOILER ALERT! THERE ARE SPOILERS IN NUMERICAL LIST FORM!]:1. "Keep passing the open windows," from The Hotel New Hampshire.2. He writes a great sex scene -- like in The 158 Pound Marriage.3. I know a lot more about pipe organs and tattoos thanks to Until I Find You.4. I was a wrestler for two years in grade school. Lots of his books have characters who are wrestlers or wrestling coaches.5. "Mrs. Ralph" in The World According To Garp. That was awesome.6. In Catch-22, which was not by John Irving but by Joseph Heller, I'm pretty sure that Yossarian, when censoring letters, throws in "John Irving" and "Irving John" and sentences like Have you seen the john, Irving. I'm sure of that despite the fact that I can't find any references to it and my copy of Catch-22 is at home and I'm at work.7. If you do search for "John Irving" connected with Yossa...

The Best Fantasy Book Series Featuring Talking Animals.
2008-10-14 20:00:00
On the radio this morning, I heard a commercial in which a woman calls up a company and asks if they do translations; as the commercial goes on the listener realizes there's a twist and the translations are for animal languages -- to talk to pets.I realized, as I listened to the commercial, that talking to animals is probably one of the most common, most pursued goals in human society. Forget going to the moon, or coming up with something better than sliced bread; if we could just talk to animals, I bet most humans would, once we achieved that, sit back, put their feet up, and think Well done, human race; now we can all relax.That's why there's so many books and comics and cartoons and radio ads about talking to animals or talking animals or animals talking to animals, from Doctor Doolittle to The Dogs of Babel (a book which was very good but which I found quite disturbing, actually)to lighthearted fare like Millie's Book .

Shame on America (Saturday Edition) Sunday: Be A Grown Up About Taxes, Woul

I don't have very much time because I'm babysitting today and will be rooting on my brother in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday , so here's a special edition of Shame on America Sunday -- the Saturday Edition. I'll make it quick:Be a grown up about taxes, will you? That means just shut up and pay them. You don't have to like it. You don't have to pay more than your fair share. But, like getting up and going to work, like pretending to like green beans so the kids will eat them, like all the things adults do that they don't really want to do but if adults don't do them, who will, you have to pay taxes.Here's why: You like the stuff the government gives you. It's that simple. You don't gripe when the book store makes you pay for your books. You don't try to weasel out of paying the tab when the bartender serves the mojitos. Nobody ever complains about the cost of an ice cream cone.But everyone whines about taxes and tries to shift them off -- let the corporations pa...

The Best Book About Monsters To Teach Kids That Monsters, and Books, Are No
2008-10-08 19:10:00
Because I read to the twins, Mr F and Mr Bunches, almost every day, I've noticed something I never realized when I was a little kid: A lot of kid's books break the fourth wall. A move that was seen as innovative and wacky and crazy when Ferris Bueller did it is, in fact, something that kids who read or are read to will think is common place.I probably didn't notice this, when I was a kid, because I had no idea what the "Fourth Wall" was. I just knew I loved reading and loved books -- I taught myself to read at age two -- and didn't give much thought to the techniques the writers used to pull me in as a kid.Now, as an adult, I can read books like The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog or today's nominee, The Monster At The End Of This Book , and see how unique and creative they are, and how the little tricks that authors use more and more frequently in kid's books -- little asides and scribbles and putting the names of the dinosaurs onto the furniture in the room (in the book How Do Dino...

2008-10-08 18:38:00
A few months back, they filmed a Johnny Depp /Christian Bale movie in Madison and other areas of Wisconsin -- something about John Dillinger, I believe-- and there was filming going on right outside my office, so on one morning, I was walking into work and the street was something out of the 1930s, with Studebakers parked around and men and women in old-fashioned clothes strolling...... and then the cameras started rolling, and Christian Bale came running over and said "Hey, you're obviously handsomer than I am, take my lead role in the movie and become a Hollywood star..."Well, no. Christian Bale wasn't there, and "handsomer" isn't a word (although if it were, I'd definitely be it.) But the rest is true: they were filming a movie and I did watch them doing it, and it made me think it would be a neat thing to be in a movie.If you feel that way, too, you've got a chance to fulfill that dream through Talent6.

My baby's got prime numbers...
2008-10-07 18:11:00
I honestly don't know whether to applaud this or bemoan it. Bemoan it, I guess.There's a site called StoryOnline.com, where you can go to hear celebrities reading children's stories, with images from the books and some sound effects.I listened a bit to Elijah Wood reading "Me And My Cat," and I have to say that Elijah needs to put a little more feeling into it. I know, from reading to Mr F and Mr Bunches, that kids demand drama. So, for example, when I read The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog, I give the characters their own voices and all but act it out. I even put action into So Big starring Elmo -- when Baby Elmo sings La La La, I never sing it the same way twice.That's why I bemoan the site. How are you going to teach your kids that reading is awesome and books are great if you can't be bothered to read them to the kids yourself?

The single greatest present we've ever gotten for The Boy is his Playstation 3.I'm not one of those parents that hates video games; I grew up on video games, playing Combat and Adventure and Yars' Revenge on my old Atari -- which wasn't an Atari 2600 when I was a kid, it was just an "Atari." I've always loved video games and I think they're great.They're certainly great now, when a video game is not just a bunch of shooting, but can actually let you play and take part in an adventure, or manage a football team, or otherwise create a whole world of opportunities beyond simply blowing up the other guy's tank. But that's only part of why the PS3 was such a great present for The Boy; the other part of it is that it gives us ready-made gifts to get him at each new birthday or holiday; you know how hard it is to shop for teenagers -- but if they have a game system, it's way way easier because there's always new games for them to get, new gear for them to get, new additions or ...

People overseas like shopping in the US right now, and people in the US like selling to people overseas; it all has to do with the "weak dollar," which I think has something to do with the bailout and a moose being shot from a helicopter -- I have trouble keeping up with politics sometimes.Anyway, the problem with all that international commerce is international shipping; lots of companies don't ship across the Atlantic or the Pacific.One company that DOES ship overseas is Ship ito.com Through their unique mail forwarding system, they can allow you, the lucky shipper or shippee, to send your stuff (or receive your stuff) across the ocean.

Shame On America Sunday: Paul Newman Edition.
2008-10-05 19:29:00
Paul Newman was on the cover of virtually every magazine, this week-- because he died; people in America paid attention to Paul Newman this week because he was no longer alive.America didn't celebrate Paul Newman much in recent years, because Paul Newman was not doing anything America felt like celebrating. He wasn't flashing his private parts, he wasn't walking down the red carpet, he wasn't even acting that much.In his past few years, Paul Newman, who acted less and less as he grew older, spent more and more of his time, and more and more of his money, on charity work. Charity was so important to him that his daughter Melissa Newman said philanthropy, and not acting, should be what Newman was remembered for. It may well be what Newman ultimately is remembered for, but it's a guarantee that it's not what he was known for, because as good as he was at acting and as good as he was at philanthropy, Newman suffered from a notable lack of skill at self-promotion.Paul Newman's ...

Everyone who reads my stuff regularly knows that I'm terribly concerned about the state of health care in America; that concern arose because of the increasing costs of my own family's health care-- not just the premium, which went up and goes up all the time, but also the office visit copays, and the prescription copays, and the other things that I have to pay out-of-pocket for.So I keep my eyes on health care and insurance and I'm always shopping around and trying to find a better deal for my family and my firm's employees.

We are a nation of people who want to read, a nation of people who want books -- but the books we get are mostly terrible and require more effort to partake of than the other mostly-terrible entertainment we are offered, so we're a nation of people who want books but don't get them or take them.How can I say that we want books, and love books, when nobody reall...
