Saturday Snaps – Telemiracle, Telemundo, Tell A Kid To Do Something

Due to a couple large corporate donations and a $1.4 million bequest from a retired farmer, last weekend’s Telemiracle was the most successful of all-time.

The Best Non-Fiction Book I Read This Year…

…was quite possibly a fiction book! I think I’ve mentioned before that I read mostly non-fiction – probably 80-90% NF to 10-20% Fiction.  But a recent Reddit thread on “eye-opening books that have improved the quality of your life” led me to a great fiction find.
