First day back at work after two blissful weeks of holidays. Must flex blogging muscles to get back into the swing of things. A whole bunch of miscellany before returning to my preferred personally aggrandising introspections:
Want to find out what your own personal political leanings are? Take the test over at Political Compass. The link for the test is on the left hand side bar, aptly titled: Take the Test. Apparently, I'm a Leftist Libertarian, sharing the same quadrant of the graph with such auspicious personages as Nelson Mandela and Gandhi.
Some weeks back, I posted a link to a website that purported to be the personal diary of Darth Vader, leading up to his climactic confrontation with Luke and Palpatine. It was a great read. With that in mind, the same fella who 'penned' it has started a sci-fi blog novel titled Simon of Space. The first couple posts are just as well written as his previous Darth Side blog. Check it out. (Yes, of course I love the title of the blog!!)
The Fraser Family holiday was a rousing success, with all members of both my and my wife's families becoming completely enchanted with our son. The huge slew of pics that have been acquired will be winnowed and posted here in the fairly near future. A holiday synopsis too, probably. See the first paragraph re: 'personally aggrandising introspections'.
My son, darling little 13 month-old devil that he is, has been keeping secrets. Turns out that he has a fifth tooth, and has for a couple weeks now! (Top jaw, to the right of first two front teeth, if you're interested in the details.) And it still hurts when he bites your fingers.
I spent this morning, from 6 - 10 AM, clearing my inbox of Email messages. Now I must get to work on the ones that require a little bit of response. I SO preferred being on holidays to this.
More later...
