Hi Everyone! Our new book club book of the month is “The Screwtape Letters” by CS Lewis. Very, very interesting read. I’ve read his “Chronicles of Narnia”, but not this one. It is even dedicated to JRR Tolkein! Anyway, the Super Bowl is tomorrow and anyone needing some last minute ideas – this is it! …
Book Update: An update on what I learned from “Salt, Sugar, Fat”: The department of Agriculture receives a $146 billion budget. Yes, billion.
