As we were going camping this weekend on Seneca Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in New York this past weekend, we passed this store in Watkins Glen. From a distance, I didn’t quite read it right and did a double take. Methinks, they should have been more careful when choosing the name of their store.
More on the trip later this week, including more photos.

This weekend my wife and I are going camping with a group of people, a few she met online and has met in person, but a whole host of others, all of whom I don’t know.
So what do I plan on doing?
Yep.
Being antisocial and sticking my nose in a book.
Which book? Actually, I made a list of possibilities including the following:
I have a pile of others, which can be found here and here, with the exception of The Beekeeper’s Apprentice and Brasyl, which I’ve already read.
So which of these would you choose? Or do you recommend I be social and put down the books? Or maybe, just maybe, do a little of both: be social and antisocial? Hmmm, that might work too.
Speaking of antisocial, and apropos of nothing, here’s one of my favorite groups with a song by the same name:
Today I’m taking a break and spending time away from the long, arduous task of tournament poker to allow myself to become refreshed and rejuvenated, and remember why I love tournament poker so much.
I bet you didn’t even know that I was a tournament poker player. To be honest, I didn’t either until I read the above message.
Now it’s all beginning to make sense why I love these songs so much, especially the second one, which I don’t think radio stations have been playing quite enough (do you?):
Deep down inside, I have a tournament poker player wanting to come out of me…like the alien coming out of Kane, only with slightly less blood than that.

Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Eva at A Striped Armchair and Marg at Reading Adventures that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. To join in this week’s event, click on the badge at left. I am also using this post for a second post in this week’s The Sunday Salon.
If sometimes in the case of physical appetites, our eyes are bigger than our stomachs, I think it also can be true that in the case of reading appetites, our eyes can be bigger than our bookshelves. Exhibit A is above. Exhibit B can be found here from earlier in the month, and I’ve only finished three from the stack pictured there: Easy to Kill by Agatha Christie, Born Standing Up: A Comic’s Life by Steve Martin and Brasyl by Ian McDonald. Today I might get to starting another by Ian McDonald: River of Gods, if I don’t get caught up in reading blog posts from the last week or starting any of the above books (in other words, it’s unlikely I’ll get to the McDonald today).
From bottom to top in this stack are:
I have a feeling I’m going to be busy for a little while here.

Also earlier today while I try to steer clear of politics for the most part here on my blog, I did put up a post under my Unfinished Rambler persona called “Obama in 2012? Hell, yes, after today“. Also earlier this week, in the guise of Unfinished Rambler, I wrote about how people like to share the strangest things with my wife, and also sometimes me, in “Up Jumped the Boogie“.
Last but not least, I have added a Book and Movie Reviews page here, so please check it out. See if we agree on the movies we’ve both seen. If not, well, too bad…because your taste in movies must suck then
