It is wearisome striving to count the time we have used up tracking down antique furniture info.

Comment on Ant Farm Claims Revisited by Carter

I read the book with great hope. I wanted it to be the funniest book ever. Unfortunately, I think you did the book in. It never had a chance.

The problem is that my expectations were just far too high. Had I simply picked up the book and read it I likely would have considered it to be a funny book. But I went in thinking it was going to be the “funniest book ever!” As a result, the book was a let down. I ended up analyzing every page, every paragraph, every sentence and every word and asking myself, “is that the funniest word, sentence, paragraph that may be written right there?” I’d ask myself, WWDLS? (What Would David Letterman (or Dennis Leary) Say?)

The weight of expectations was too much for this little book.

I don’t know about the new Wonder Woman but the old one lives down the street from me. The woman who provided the voice for Wonder Woman on the old Super Friends cartoon runs a small theater company here in town. I’ve talked with her on the phone and will probably meet her this summer.

How cool is that?
