I have to report for jury duty tomorrow.

I am also attending a Ramadan dinner tomorrow evening. An observance like Ramadan would do Americans a lot of good. Even a single day of fasting and reflection could work wonders for our national psyche. We would probably screw it up and commercialize it if such an observance became a national holiday.

This week's book:

that Shape Our World

I like the Weekly World News.
