The American Psychiatric Association (APA) holds a convention every year where they sometimes vote on whether to make up a new mental illness, such as ADD or ADHD or Math Disorder or similar nuttiness.

I admit it, I’m a fan of Tom Cruise. Ever since Top Gun, anyway. I didn’t care much for Risky Business.

Two sites worth seeing about Tom:

Oprah’s slide show

Very slick videos on that official site.

Have fun! I did. And let me know what you think.
