Need a Carfax?

The Missus and I bought a new-to-us used vehicle recently. I wanted to get a Carfax report before I sealed the deal, and I went ahead and bought 10 for $35. Anyways, after using 1 on the new car purchase, and 2 for our old cars, I’ve got 7 leftover. So…if you want the info on a car you want to buy or sell, let us know.

Forecast

We ended up getting a foot of snow, but it melted pretty quick. We went for a drive in the close-in mountains on Saturday, and it was gorgeous.

March Madness

I came across two good articles on basketball recently.

The first is a long Michael Lewis article on Shane Battier. I know it doesn't put me in exclusive company to be a Michael Lewis fan, but that guy could write about paint drying and I'd be fascinated.

The second is a Stanley Fish piece on pick-up basketball. It's shmaltzy, but pretty good. A few months ago I played in a public park in Denver where I was the only gringo, and some of what Fish writes really resonates.

Jim and Travis at it again

I plan to post links to my monthly columns on PaperMoney.

Recommended Reading

Recommended reading for anyone with an interest in infant care. The bottom line—there is very little measurable difference between breastfed and formula fed children. Now, I’m not going to run out and buy formula just this very minute, but the article generally supports my recent self-assurances that plenty of fully-functioning, even successful adults were not breastfed, were overly attached to their pacifiers, didn’t sleep through the night until they were well into toddlerhood, were fussy, threw tantrums, etc. Happy parenting!
