The Firebird - A Review... By a Guy

I'm a heterosexual guy. 

I'd go as far to say I'm a heterosexual man, but my collection of Skylander figures, and affinity for flatulence-related humor, pushes that description such that, on certain days, anything above adolescence is a stretch. The fact that, I'm a guy, and to a certain degree that I am also heterosexual, is extremely important information before you embark on a journey through my feelings on The Firebird, a historical fiction novel by Susanna Kearsley. In short, it may create some biases, both yours and my own.

My slow ascension to Apple Nirvana is a common tale for many a modern Mac user, one that began with the second generation, original iPod and finds itself with the present adoption of the entire suite of Apple products.

My First Review: Keen Newport H2

Ignore the horizon, I'm really free-climbing.

I never write reviews. I don't know why, but the length of the review below is probably a pretty good reason. Who wants to read anything that long, just to see if you like a shoe, or a backpack. Anyways, I recently received a request from Zappos, and I thought, "Why not?"
