Friday Afternoon

Well, I ended up going several days without posting. I admit I didn't even think of it for a few days. In case you are curious, the decision about Lady in the Water was an easy one. The only show times available were at 7:00 and 9:40, so I could not go because of my book club. Perhaps I should mention that we read Davita's Harp, by Chaim Potok. I ended up watching some Rurouni Kenshin that I had gotten from Netflix, and then I went to Barnes & Noble several hours before my book club was to meet and just browsed. I ended up buying The Philosophy of History, by Hegel, which is rather ponderous reading, but I have always been interested in Hegel's way of thinking, and I am trained as an Historian, so the subject matter is interesting to me as well. Also, it was a B&N Classics edition, so it was under $10.
Since then I have worked everyday, and will still be working everyday until next Friday, when I will be going to the Minnesota State Fair. It should be fun, because it is MPR day. In the meantime, I have to revise a paper that I am presenting at an History conference. It is too long, so I will need to shorten it by about a third in order to meet the submission requirements. Well, I will try not to go this long without writing again, but the fact that no one has commented is a little discouraging. Oh well.
