Obtained a second airport express and plugged the existing speakers in the living room into it. This means that I can play music from my laptop to any subset of (its own speakers, the living room, the kitchen). Rock. Go me.
Another bottle of the Ivory Tower “volunteered” by blowing its cork clear up to the ceiling. This very nearly scared the pants off of redmed. After calming everyone down (the cats were freaked out), I decided to open all the bottles, pull some CO2 out of solution to equalize the pressure, and re-cork them. So, that was fun. We’ll see if it holds.
Dinner tonight with work folks from the hospital. Warming up my polite conversation now.
Having people down tomorrow to break in the new crepe pan.
Finished both The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris. I highly recommend each of them to any and all. They share a theme, that according unconditional respect to religious thought leads to disastrous social repercussions. Of the two, the Harris book is the place to start. It’s tiny and reads in less than a couple of hours. Dawkins is more thorough, on many of the same messages.
