2. Yeah, OK, so not the best of the 82 or so weeks I have been working at the Washington County EOC. Maybe not *the* worst, but close. Long, too, and I have a two-hour dinner to attend tomorrow night. But I get Monday as a Flex Day. Yee-ha!

6. I am on the last of 18 discs of "The Race Beat," an amazingly comprehensive history of the coverage of the Civil Riughts movement, reaching back to the 1920s or so.

Another, even longer, book on CD -- David Halberstam's "The Coldest Winter," which is about the Korean War, is up next.
7. From "The Quiet Man."
