We’re #1… actually, we’re #25, but that’s not so bad

Secrets of Angels & Demons has reached #25 on the New York Times Best-seller list.  Sure, it’s the non-fiction hardcover list, and sure, it’s the extended best-seller list, but it’s better than a kick in the pants, or a bowl of lima beans.

Speaking of books, Amazon.com has started a new program called, “Amazon Prime”.  For a flat fee of $79 annually, your household (up to 4 people) will receive free 2-day shipping on most in-stock items ordered from Amazon.  I imagine there would still be surcharges on large items, like 62” television sets, but if you just order a lot of books and CDs like I do, it’s a pretty good offer.  Amazon does have “Free Super-Saver Shipping” on orders of $25 or more, but it can take an eternity for those items to ship.  We placed a $400 order in mid-December, took the free shipping offer, and didn’t get our books until mid-January.  So, having the shipment guaranteed in 2 days seems great for impatient people like me.  Even better, if you’re a “Prime” member, you can have overnight shipping for just $3.99.  I’m pretty sure I’m going to give this program a try.

Olympus still hasn’t repaired our camera, and Chelsea is being crochety today.  Jackson and Derek got into a brawl, and Jackson won (the biggest victim seems to be Derek’s pride).  On a bright note, you *can* dip a banana into a Starbuck’s Chantico and make a tasty treat.
