This past evening, I once again had the opportunity to be the Master of Ceremonies at the Anchor Point Cabin Fever Variety Show. A small town, variety show that has been breaking up the spell of the winter for the past fifty years. The show is hosted as a fund raising opportunity for the Anchor Point Public Library. The variety show is an opportunity for the "locals" to demonstrate their talents in voice, instrumental, and even acting. It was another great show with a tremendous turnout of the community to support the project.

No being an avid reader and very rarely visiting the local library, I thought it best that I take the opportunity to read a few books in order that I would be able to communicate effectively with those that take full advantage of the library. I was surprised to find a special section at the library that has been developed for those of us that do not enjoy or to busy to read a book that contains over five pages. It is a new feature that has been developed in all libraries and is titled "World's Smallest Books". The books are a fast read, taking only a couple of minutes, they cover a wide range of topics, and written by well known authors. I am including a few of the titles that I enjoyed immensely as well as advancing my knowledge in a variety of areas.

"How To Get To The Super Bowl" by Dan Marino

"Things That I Can't Afford" by Bill Gates

"Everything Men Know About Women" by Dr. Joyce Brothers

"Beauty Secrets" by Janet Reno (Attorney General, Clinton Administration)

"Things I Love About Bill" by Hillary Clinton
