I just spent the evening negotiating with a chap out on Whidbey Island (Puget Sound) for a book/CD swap. I'm buying one from him via eBay, and getting a 1908 book about smuggling from him on a barter deal. So what happens? Kat comes up with a site that could provide me with reading matter for the rest of my life! Even if I decide I can't snuggle down with a monitor (no, 'Spaw, not the kind you knew in the halls at school!), she points me toward some titles that I might find in old-fashioned BOOK form. I'm an addict, Kat, and you, m'luv, are an enabler!

Tomorrow I meet with a chap who talked with my son at one of the folk festivals. He's giving up a bookstore due to illness, and says he has about 500 titles in folklore and folksong. Some have already been pledged to an auction house for a September sale, but I'm gonna look at the leavings. Wonder if he takes credit cards?

Keep it up, Kat! You'll addict us all.
