Dispatches from the Co-Prosperity Sphere

You keep whinging because we don't call enough. For heaven's sake, stop! We can't call because we're busy. Just look at what we're doing. Does it look like we have the time to sleep? Eat? Breathe? Let alone communication with the outside world! We're building empires! We're winning hearts and minds! We're forging ahead, confronting our demons, marching victoriously toward a grand and glorious new era! And we're doing it all from the comfort of the backyard hammock.

Check Me Out - I'm Slacking!

Today, I went into work for prepare for a meeting I have on Monday and to send some stuff to my boss who's leaving for Korea tomorrow. While I was there I did a little regular work, too. Then I took Peaches and her friend to lunch. Then I cam home and went running. Oh, and before I left for work I cleaned the horribly messy kitchen while the Pirate...where was the Pirate? Oh, grocery shopping.

And during all of this, I read (okay, listened to) Bernard Lewis' "The Crisis of Islam." It is a very detailed analysis of political relations between the Islamic world in general and the US in particular, and his assessment of why things aren't working.

I took Peaches to another friend's house to spend the night, and no wthe Pirate and I are watching "Before Night Falls," which is excellent and poetic and fabulous. And sad.

But I'm not doing anything "constructive," and I don't care. I'm happy and I am having a good time.
