| REVIEW: Eureka AirSpeed Gold Vacuum
I used to think that you couldn't get a decent vacuum cleaner for under $200. Eureka's new AirSpeed Gold proves me wrong. Read the AirSpeed Gold review here...

Letter from Canada: What about central vacuum systems?  Hey C.L.A.M.,
I'm reading the vacuum cleaner section of your book and you don't even mention built-in vacuum systems. Should I give up on my central vac and go buy a canister? -Amy, Kelowna, British Columbia
Hey Amy,
Central vacuum systems are uncommon in the U.S. but very popular in Canada. They sure sound convenient, but installation can be $500 or more. Right now I'm using a new upright model that offers more suction than I imagine a central vac system could and easily moves from room to room and cleans EVERYTHING well thanks to three innovative features.

Angelo's life continues to be perfect.
 | | What's not to like? |
Daily dog park visits, declawed cats to chase, plenty of good food, and being an "only dog." With all that, adopted Aussie Shepherd Angelo knows that he has a great existence and sleeps every night with visions of gigantic Milk Bones dancing in his head.
If he could, though, Angelo would eliminate puppy mills and homelessness for canines to make everything ideal. He can't but you can.

| Dear Martha... | |
The author's bi-monthly letter to his role model, Martha Stewart.
Dear Martha,
Hope you're well. It's been a while since I've written...sorry. Thanks for having me on Martha Stewart Living Radio in NY in August. I was hoping you'd be in studio that day, but they said you had some flower-arranging seminar in The Hamptons. Oh well, maybe next time.
Your pal,
Tom |
