I took a mental health day from work and went out to lunch and saw "Watchmen" all by myself. Heaven, especially since the last time I ate a meal in peace was well before the little guy was born.

Anyway, not ten minutes into my meal, a guy at the next table turned around, saw my Kindle, and said "Oh, COOL" and proceeded to grill me about it. What was it, how did it work, where did I buy my books, how long did it hold a charge, etc... He was very impressed and told me he was going to start researching e-readers for himself as soon as he got home that night.

No real point to this post except to say that it was a lot of fun getting to show off my new toy to someone who really appreciated it.
