People regularly ask me to help promote their auctions of their Peanuts memorabilia, and I demur. I really don’t want to turn this blog into a bunch of adds for other people’s stuff. But in this case, I’m making an exception… because of what the item is. You may …

I would write a review of Be Active, but I’d rather spend my time getting ready for my trip to Las Vegas, so just go read my review of Be Unique again. If you liked that one, you’ll like this. (It’s a bit more weighed to pictures without quotes, and …
