Gratuitous Deadwood Civil Servant Posting

Light posting today owing to the Federal Holiday. Also tomorrow, which I have off. Then there's the weekend. And I'm out of town Monday and Tuesday.

Oh, dear.......

No, really. I'll see what I can do. For one thing, I'm taking my six year old to see "The Incredibles" in a bit and hope to have a review of it later on. Also, I intend to catch "Saving Private Ryan" this evening, so may feel inspired to say something on the subject of warfare and sacrifice. In the meantime, if inspiration suddenly strikes, I'll try to block out the 45 minutes or so it takes to turn on my 1998 vintage Gateway home computer, let the vacuum tubes warm up, awaken AOL's dial up service, wade through all the pop-ups and then, assuming the system even lets me, convert my thought to pixels (assuming I can still remember what it was).

Yes, it's hard work. But I do it all for you.
