As Seen From My Couch by Sandra Beebe

Two quick comments before I begin my exegesis about the decision on the medical marijuana dispensary.

Participants can either tell about books that have impressed them or just listen and find out about books that may impress you. Read More   (Seriously - read more! It's brain aerobics.)
