Eureka : a novel

Posted on by

I grabbed this book based on the cover, of course. Who doesn’t appreciate the lovely Cushman aesthetic?

It turned out to be a great, very touching read. Sort of a looks-like-a-midlife-crisis-on-a-scooter-but-is-really-a-needed-rebirth kind of story. I wouldn’t have given it a chance had I known the author is the same Jim Lehrer of the torturously boring MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour… but hey, the guy can write.

Find a copy.

NEWS FLASH:

Man! Cassie is fast on the uptake this week. I just saw this book for sale in my beloved Daedulus Books catalog yesterday They have it for sale for $3.98! And yes it’s a hard cover!

Another custom figurine

Put the likeness of your favorite couple on a scooter figurine. From itsyou.qqminime.com…
It’s similar to this figurine I posted a while back.

I saw this picture on a poster in the window of an engraving shop in downtown Portland & it was too weird not to post. What is that bear/deer with a football jersey on his head doing? Is that supposed to be Cupid? Or has he come with a magical wrench to change their spark plug? We may never know.

Bunnies!

Thanks to Jake for this tip (or, rather, thanks to Jake for entering the father-to-be realm so cool gifts like this start rolling in). Sweet “Little Roadster” jumper available from Sears.

So I’m at the Rite Aid drugstore on Tuesday and notice this American Greetings card. Cute, but I don’t have a niece. And then I think, “Oh, wait! Yes I do! She was born this morning!” Cool timing, eh? I think I’ll save it until she turns 10 and tell her that I bought it the day she was born.

Inside:
“You’re classy, sassy, spunky and cool –
And since it’s your birthday, girl, you rule!
Have a great day”
