In the wise words of Theodore Geisel (and yours truly): "You have brains in your head (debatable). You have feet in your shoes (sometimes). You can steer yourself in any direction you choose (which is normally all over the place)."

How about steering yourself toward some entertaining gear to help celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday today during the 22nd annual Read Across America celebration? Don't forget guys: reading on a Kindle absolutely counts, too!
