Something may come to you, and they may discount things after the holidays a bit.

MC to you and Jen with all my love.

They're often really good ones, frequently "greatest hits" albums. It changes every month, and you don't have to use the card all at once.

Lessons from Oz
by Julienne La Fleur
Lessons from Oz recaptures the magic of the film The Wizard of Oz, while pondering life and illuminating over 35 lessons that we, as grown-ups, tend to forget. Some are whimsical, some are serious, and like Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, this book will reconnect the reader to the important things in life.

Is all of the album in that same vein or do they get heavier in other songs? I can dig some folk music and a choir, but I like to rock, too.

Here is the whole album on YouTube. It takes a few seconds start, since its a big file, but give it a listen.

I have gotten quite a few ebooks from Amazon and read them on the PC without a Kindle. Its nice and they are cheaper then the hard copy.
Also, renting movies from them is pretty cool. About the same price as cable on demand. I started using that when there was a movie I couldn't find on cable. You can buy them as well. I think if you can watch them with other devices as well. I just hook the laptop to the tv and watch it.
Amazon seems to have everything though. And I bet they are running some pretty good end of the season discounts.
Happy Shopping
