Quick Notes. There’s a monster cold going around our house; Ray sounds terrible and Lee doesn’t sound much better. As for me, well, I’m fine.

LOTR II. Joe and I went to the Two Towers at the IMAX. Oooh.

War. Probably I should just keep my mouth shut, but there you go. I’d like to accomplish the supposed goals that the Iraqi war would attempt to accomplish.
