Got to peruse the Ferndale store for a while Saturday (during the rainy afternoon - perfect bookstore time). They have amazing selection and a great atmosphere.

Coming to a fine wine retailer near you. Much to Roger Goodell's chagrin, because any discussion of this wine "may have a detrimental effect on the great number of young fans who follow our game." Yeah, this is the image problem you need worry about.

John Adams encore - still time to set your DVR on the west coast! Truly great television, imo, and perfect for the 4th.
