This week, I played by the rules as they are written (instead of making up my own, as I’m wont to do). So the entire library of itunes music went on random and this is what it spit out.
1 – Meet Me in the Morning, Bob Dylan
2 – Don’t Take Your Guns to Town, [...]
On Saturday afternoon, the Little Mister and I found ourselves in a Borders, where I was intrigued to see this interesting cover, 501 Must-Read Books, in with the cheapie remainder books up near the registers. 544 pages of reviews and recommendations.
