Ever wonder what happened to Rick Moranis?

You won't find the article of much interest then. I wouldn't read it if I were you.

I had already read it, but thought I'd answer you anyway.

I'm reading this book about Bill Murray that was a gift, and it mentions Rick Moranis a few times. He sounded like a real creative force in his movies.

So, yeah, I wondered.

The Bill Murray book is kind of boring though. It feels like a chore reading it.

Cranberry harvest on Cape Cod. I was surprised when the guy who owned a Cape Cod cranberry farm told me all those wet harvested Cranberries go into juice or Cranberry products. The ones you but in the market are dry harvested.

Can't speak for the rest of his maps, but he's right on for Calif and Oregon.

Gradually speeding up to 500 wpm was not terribly difficult.

But the trick is that Spritz centers each word for you,
so there is no the need to change your focus.

right. I remember them doing something like that in reading class when I was in 8th grade. I think they just scrolled the words past a clear window at a speed to determine how fast you read. I read slowly, but my retention is really good.
