The Book Shelf

Well, my dogs' names are Taz(chiuaua) and Honey Bishop (black lab) and my cat is named Bob (female), and with a 3 year old, I don't have much spare time. When I do, I use what little brain hasn't been fried by Sesame Street and Barney to write some poetry, read a few books, or watch (continuously, and understand) a good movie. . . maybe with subtitles.

Elsewhere you will be able to find my poetry, but let me give you a short list of the stars of my bookshelf.
