Winding Down

Okay, cats, I'm all blogged out. I'm tired as hell, still not finished with my workload, a little burned out on the political stuff, and ready for a day off.

I'm going to finish listening to the best damned Daniel Lanois album (Beauty of Wynona), go buy myself the new Social D album, maybe pick up one of my old Heinlein novels, and go off somewhere to forget that there actually is an outside world.

Have a great weekend, love your families, and breathe some fresh air. I'm going to try to remind myself today and tomorrow that life isn't all work, politics, and blogging.

Enjoy.

A few weeks ago I read Heinlein's first novel, For Us the Living, and realized that it is about time to go back and read through the rest of his stuff again. I think I have read everything at least once over the years but mostly in haphazard sequence.

I'll have to dig a few out of long stored boxes and probably go to the bookstore to fill a few gaps. Once I have everything together I'm thinking of doing a chronological read including the juveniles and the short stories.

BTW, For Us The Living is ok for the expereienced Heinlein reader. You can see the early development of a lot of his later themes. It is not, though, real strong as a novel.

You have a good one. I got some Sean Stewart getting shipped on your review from a couple of days ago, sounds like a great read, but it will be Robin Hobb for me this weekend.
