Re: The December Digital Issue of Genii is Now Online and in the Mail

Is anyone able to play the video content? I just get a grey screen with an X in the upper right corner. I also tried playing a video from last month's issue, which used to work, but the same thing is happening.

Re: If You've Received Tenyoism Please Post Here!

Thanks for the heads up about UPS My Choice. I signed up and saw that my book was going to be delivered while I'm out of town. As Chris said, I was able to reroute it to a UPS Store until I can pick it up. No tracking number needed, the system finds the shipment by the delivery address.

Budweiser caps are easy. They twist off, no bottle opener required so the caps won't be bent. Pick up a 6 pack, enjoy (or not) and you'll have the caps you need plus two to spare.
