I don’t have the time or much opportunity these days to read much more than the newspaper or a magazine or a Reader’s Digest perhaps, which the wife always has several copies conveniently located in the bathrooms in the house. But that doesn’t mean that once in a while I’ll find a book that really interests me and I will take the time to do what I can in reading it all the way to the end.

My daughter actually had me in mind when she and her friends went to the local flea market yesterday when she was looking through a box of books that were being given away for free. She is an avid reader and loves looking for new and exciting books to bring home and when she sees books that are being given away she usually walks away with an arm load.

This box contained a book written by Jimmy Buffett, by the name of “A Salty Piece of Land” a novel. She knows that her mom and I are both avid Jimmy Buffett fans from way back and she went ahead and picked it up for me along with a bunch of other ones for her from this box of free reading materials. That was a pleasant surprise, she is always surprising us with things, and they are not usually on the pleasant side I’m sorry to say.

California Criminal Defense Blog | Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys has turned out to be quite an interesting read that I stumbled across late last night, which was about Former Prosecutors that specialize in criminal defense in Southern California Courts. I was having a really rough time of falling asleep last night, so after watching the television for a bit and deciding that there really isn’t much of anything worth watching in the middle of the night, even with cable for heaven’s sake. So I figured I’d go out to the PC and find something interesting to read in an effort to tire my eyes out enough to fall asleep.

I never really paid much attention to other peoples or businesses/companies blogs in the past, other than folks that I know that have a blog that I read once in a while just to catch up on what is going on in their lives. It really is a convenient tool which makes it possible to keep an eye on the people that you know or related to that you care about, but don’t take the opportunity, for what ever reason, to communicate with, like with email or snail mail or even the phone. I remember the first blog that I ever read was several years ago when my sister told me about her blog and begged me to read it, which was really interesting and opened up a whole new world for me as it turns out.

So it looks like I’ll be taking a closer look at some of the blogs that I see on some of web-sites that I visit along the way and not just friends and relatives blogs.

No this isn’t a picture of me, it is of one of the attorney’s of the firm by the name of Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP. This picture is what caught my attention on this firms web-site, he looks so much like a guy that I worked with years ago when we lived in California, but it isn’t the same guy as it turns out, but does have a good blog for reading!
