Considering where ol' Gail happens to reside, I found the following review of hers to be a tad peculiar:

Mittens on String--Child by Marshall Field's

STRING ALONG WITH ME........ December 1, 2002 These mittens on a string proved so popular with the very young set that I've had to go back for more.

One of my more energetic 9-year-old friends who is the best snow ball packer and thrower on the block loves that her hands stay warm even when she's indulging in her favorite winter pastime.

For anyone who has never been to the Lone Star State, let me assure you that snowfall is an extreme rarity. In fact, that is the exact term that the Dallas CVB uses to describe the Winter weather. The average annual snow fall in Houston is 0.0 inches. Ignoring the fact that this lady mentions having 9-year-old "friends", I'm curious to find out how this child has developed a "favorite winter pastime" of snow ball hurlage when THERE'S NO F'N SNOW TO PACK AND THROW.

Perhaps I just overlooked Gail Cooke's review of the snow machine she purchased 4 years ago.

Also interesting are a few of the books Gail has reviewed at Amazon:

The Art of Deception by Ridley Pearson
Faking It by Jennifer Crusie
Grave Secrets by Kathy Reichs
This Pen for Hire by Laura Levine
Conflict of Interest by Nancy Taylor Rosenberg
Fleeced by Carol Higgins Clark
Basket Case by Carl Hiaasen
