Dear Friends,

I ignored you for a week. That probably makes me a bad person. I apologize.

I refuse to participate in the process of American Idol, even though the download is free. My consumerism knows bounds; my hypocrisy, not so much.

I read Steven Pressfield's Tides of War, a novelization of the Peloponnesian War focusing on Alcibiades, over the holiday

Ooo! I knew they were coming to town, but didn't realize it was this week. To the Earl!

As a rule, I despise all reality TV, so I can understand not wanting to deal with American Idol.

Mmmm, I love good historic fiction. I should read Gates of Fire, then.

I'm glad you had good family time. I didn't fight with anyone, and it was very relaxing. I read the sixth Harry Dresdan novel.

What do those phrases mean?

Oh, and I hear you on the staying up too late thing...if it's not City of Heroes or Villains, it's catching up on Tivo and reading. I need to sleep more.
