A little weekend reading...

Compiled by Anthony Demangone

Alas, my Powerball ticket and I failed to see things eye-to-eye this week. The good news is that without all that unnecessary wealth, you and I will remain the well-grounded, humble, unpretentious, hardworking and unassuming folks that people have grown to love. 

And my plans for WIFI-enabled sweater vests will go back on the shelf for a while.

So, on to this week's reading pile!
