Monday Blog Dump

And it's not even Monday!

I needed a book to read for this trip, so I picked up Michael Crichton's State of Fear. Since 7:00 last night, I'm on page 339 of 623. Seriously, I can't put it down. The purpose behind the book (at least, so far) is to expose the scare tactics behind global warming. Crichton has a difficult job to do, which is present a lot of facts, stats, charts, and graphs as evidence, while holding the reader's interest and keeping the story enjoyable. So far, he's succeeded.

Weather forecast for Saturday, July 15: Scattered Thunderstorms, 85°. I think I can handle that. We'll see how the forecast changes over the next 10 days.

Here's hoping the Space Shuttle landing date and time changes. I have no particular reason for wanting this. Nope, I don't have any ushers in my wedding whose presence is necessary for landing the thing.

Edge, I'll be there no matter what. It would just suck to have to leave the weekend early.

Which suit???

P.S. - Eventually look to read some Crichton; glad you enjoy him.
