Tonight is a quiet weeknight, so I've taught myself to count to ten in Urdu.

I expect more interesting things to come this week. I won't give away much, but there should be some good photos. For later this year, I heard about some flying lessons over at NAS Jacksonville I may be able to get in on.
Also, for those of you not reading David Brooks regularly....start reading David Brooks.
He's the most insightful newspaper columnist in America. A bold statement, maybe. It's still true. Anyway, he turns on the funny in this column, and it's right on the mark for those of you who have spent any time in NW Washington DC.

This from the Peanut Gallery:
ReplyDelete"I submit that the focus of this blog is drifting. I come here expecting great feats: base jumping, barefoot water skiing, sword-swallowing, snake taming, and other things that would make your parents and sister wince.
And I get op-ed advice? Although, I have to say the frozen pizza review was helpful in my effort to refine my sumptuary tastes. A word I learned from the abovementioned Brooks column."
My response:
Fair enough. I too would like more excitement on a weeknight, and this project is a work in progress. However, finding new adventures on weeknights is a practical challenge. Sword swallowing and base jumping are worthy endeavors, to be sure, but not always possible.
5 out of 7 nights are weeknights, and readers of this blog may need to adjust expectations downwards, and settle for witty repartee and jocular ribbing some evenings as opposed to derring-do.
