The Dog's Diary

Advantages: Designed for show dogs, ring bound, plenty of room for writing
Disadvantages: price and availability

...~~*~~*~~ Starprint Show Diary ~~*~~*~~ ~~*~~ What date is that again? ~~*~~ My memory is pants ? it may be senility setting in, or it may be my genetics seeing as how my father can never remember one of his offspring?s birthdays. Either way, I am rubbish so my diary is my memory. Everything is written in it from the dogs I have to walk each day to banking transactions (lord knows how I run a business but somehow I struggle through without angering the taxman (and if he asks, he?ll find all the details he needs in my precious diary)). ~~*~~ Free Window ~~*~~ This is an A5 size diary with Monday to Friday on the left hand page and the weekend on the right hand side ? it?s easy to glance at the week and despair at how busy I am.

Review of Starprint Show Diary

Talkin' bout a Revolution

Advantages: Intelligently-composed and lead by skillful portrayals; beautiful visuals.
Disadvantages: Perhaps appeals more to those with an existing interest in the story.

...I am not the me I was.

Advantages: excellent, lyrical and moving film
Disadvantages: occasionally overly reverential and heavy-handed

...At the beginning of 1952, 29-year-old Alberto Granado and 23-year-old Ernesto Guevara ?Fuser? de la Serna set out on a planned Odyssey the length and breadth of Latin America, starting in their beloved Argentina and taking in Chile, Peru and Colombia before reaching their projected destination at the northernmost point of Venezuela.
