One Witch's Way: A Magical Year of Stories, Spells & Such by Bronwynn Forrest Torgerson	2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: a charming read thus far, October 27, 2008 I recently purchased this book and shouldn't have. I say this because I have homework to do and instead I find myself laughing outloud to a wonderful poem about two little frogs. The book is organized around monthly themes. However, unlike some books that give (needed) information on tradtions and practices that align with the Sabbats and Esbats, this book does that but then takes a step off to the side. So for February, the month of Imbolc when one is begroaning the cold and wet (here in the Pacific Northwest) and wishing for the return of warmth and sunshine and we usually light candles or such... the author talks about lighting the candle of love within.

Odysseus in America: Combat Trauma and the Trials of Homecoming by Jonathan Shay	Should be required reading for all NCOs and family support, September 1, 2008 This book is wonderful.

Lexerd - Garmin GPSMAP 60CSX TrueVue Anti-Glare GPS Screen Protector by Lexerd	not worth the money, February 20, 2008 I ordered this to prevent further scratching of my pricey GPS unit. When it got in I applied it and was quite disappointed in how dark it makes the screen. I use screen protectors on my iPod, my phone, and other devices and this one is the worst. It might protect the screen, but so does a piece of cardboard, and both offer the same amount of transparency. I ended up buying another product called Ivisishiel that works like a champ and doesn't cut down the brightness.
