    Really enjoyed this story and admire the way it smoothly transitioned between the narrator's present and past.

    I like my kindle. It mimics the page of a book as far as color/font contrast on the page and I don't experience any more eyestrain than a regular book. The e-ink looks like it will have some real possibilities.

    Happy New Year! Here's to good writing and reading in 2011!

    My observation is that looks definitely matter and sometimes in subtle ways. I was a hiring manager for years and consistently the panel of interviewers I worked with showed a bias toward candidates who were more attractive. It was subtle, but noticeable. Older candidates and overweight candidates with the same qualifications as others didn't make as favorable an impression. However, I saw it work the other way too. We had one young woman, a very attractive blond, who was passed over for promotion at least two years longer than she should have been (in my opinion). She was extraordinarily bright and very grounded, but frankly she looked like a 21 year old Britney Spears and the men in my conservative industry did not take her seriously.

    Thanks for the welcomes! I didn't think I'd be such a weekend warrior around here. Somehow the day job always gets busy just when I want to get going on a new leisure activity.
