    Caution: the cover reads "Holy Bible" but, when you open the book, you'll find the Hitler manifesto Mein Kampf!

    Hi, Kirk!

    Just dropping in early to let you know that I will be returning to blogging next Monday, April 1, with a new post. Hope to see you next week. Happy Easter (if you salivate it), good buddy Kirk!
