tracker7This was a good restful day, much like Christmas Day. Played a little Ace Combat, watched a whole lot of Warner Brothers animation (thank you, Cartoon Network!), restocked the kitchen. Going to do a little maintenance on the ThinkPad and iMac tonight, too.
I'm currently reading The Submarine, by fellow Kentuckian Thomas Parrish. It's good, engaging writing, and covers submarine development from the 18th Century through the early years of the 21st.
The past couple nights have been good for my radio listening at bedtime. Art Bell hosted Coast to Coast AM for the annual predictions shows, and it was really good to hear his voice again - and his skepticism. My biggest gripe with George Noory is his tendency to happily guzzle whatever Kool-Aid his guests or callers are peddling. Now, I've certainly got my own silly ideas that I cling to just because they make the world more interesting, that's for sure, but abiotic oil and Young-Earth creationism sure don't fit there.
I've been playing a lot of Civilization IV (thanks again!), and man, this is a terrific game. Civ2 ate up uncounted hours of my relaxation time before I converted to the iMac, and this is certainly a worthy successor.
