On the road this week. A day at NASA, a quick visit to my dad, and two days in Maryland. This trip feels … uninspired. Professionally necessary and useful, but hotels are getting old again.
Saw Dark Knight last night. That was intense. Perhaps not “pants crappingly intense,” as my brother put it … but hardcore. It’s a movie about violent, crazy people.
Stuck around the theatre to watch Wanted. That was a total waste of time. Okay, not a total waste of time … since Angelina Jolie is still damn attractive … but as a movie? Waste of time. For free, from 10 to midnight, not so bad.
Home tonight to play host to brother and sister in law for the weekend, including a concert in the Berkshires. Yahoo!
Our community supported agriculture farm wants to give us our “preservation share” of basil, cukes, and beans … all tomorrow.
In other news, I’m vaguely disappointed that we actually seem to be a socialist state. When we privatize the rewards of an endeavor, it’s only fair to privatize the risks as well. Given that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholders were all too happy to reap dividends in the good times, I think that they should be left to swing in the bad times.
