We had a long talk about Mike's blog last night, he really does have quite a knack for writing and I wanted to link you to it so you could get a glimpse. I know I don't always keep up with the blogs but I thought this one on McDonald's and the "new movie" was particulary fun.
Dr. Mike also got interactive with the reviewers as well, nice to see that. Anyway here is something to think about today, Here's the link to the web site, click or cut and paste away and enjoy! http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/archives/2006/08/appearing_in_th_1.html#comments
