If you read the comments here on the blog you may have noticed that my friend Andy has put up another great rant. I asked him to critique the new BenSpark Bookstore. And he did critique it and then went off on his own journey. I thank Andy for critiquing the site. I have been an Amazon affiliate for some time now and have recently put together my own storefront with Amazon. I had the flatwater bookstore blog and I am going to let that go away. Now I am going to maintain an Amazon storefront with books, dvds and other items that pertain to topics I am interested in. I will also try to keep a couple of pages set up for items I mention on this blog.

The photo is of some kayaking books that I have read. I started the BenSpark Bookstore with Kayaking books. And there is also a kayaking shirt that I got today from Paddling.net. I joined the Paddling.net paddle perks program for 2007. If you are into kayaking then you should sign up for this newsletter. It is fantastic and informative. There is also a sweepstakes each month.

Today we said goodbye to Dan and Marcia. We had lunch with Dan,Marcia, Grandma Eva and Grandpa John and Nate. We also were visited by Uncle Jim and Alice. Today we did not do much. Dan and Marcia packed for their trip to Florida. We packed up to go home. The Christmas decorations went up yesterday and today. So it looks like Santa has some clothes he forgot to pick up last year. Maybe he’ll come get them this year.

Starman was on Sci-fi channel today. I remember seeing that movie when it came out. I really liked it. I still like it today. A very good movie overall and Jeff Bridges was great in it.

From reading the user reviews it looks like the European version is widescreen with commentary, the US version does not have that. Maybe on the 25th anniversary of the movie we will get a better DVD.
