Have you ever wanted a great liberal arts education. The key is reading. But the question arises – what do you read? If you will devote 15 minutes a day to reading – you can work your way through the Harvard 5 foot bookshelf. A great anthology of literature. The following link takes you to the book shelf and each day there is a link for that 15 minutes of reading.

Skip the fog on the bathroom mirror

Something I just tried morning. Put a small amount of shaving cream on the mirror and then wipe off. My bathroom doesn’t have an exhaust fan so every time I shower, I have to deal with fogged mirrors. This did the trick. No fog this morning.
