The Microsoft Office that I was using was 97. I bought a new computer, so I wanted to upgrade to Office 2007. I cannot live without Word and Excel. It was about a week before Office 2010 came out, but then I saw a special deal to get 2010 free. I think it runs through September. Amazon was offering 2007 for $99.99 ($50 cheaper than anywhere else) and just by registering my product by September, I could download the new Office 2010. I’m so glad I went this route. I saved money and I love both Office 2007 and 2010. It is well worth your hard earned money to buy Office 2007 with the free upgrade!
Vertigo

One of the most haunting books that I have read in years.

The main character, Rosie, is complicated, sensitive and heroic. She’s also an elephant. The time is a “depression era” slice of life. Critics have represented this book as ‘riviting’ and ’sheer fun’. It is certainly ‘riviting’. Sometimes, it isn’t fun. It’s a book about a beutiful sensitive animal who endures the most depression era horrific abuse. While Rosie is an elephant, she also personifies a dwarf, a dog called Queenie, a chimp called Bobo, and Marlena. It’s complicated.

I found it hard to read at times because I LOVE Rosie. I love Jacob Jankowski. The second generation, animal Vet that we all hope treats our animal friends.

The reviews written so far haven’t talked about the difficult moments in the book. There are moments that made me think of animal rights. In the depression, they had no rights. Read this book and stand up for animal rights. Stand up for Rosie!
