Oh, Yeah, Baby! It's #119.

Oh, behave!

The Objectivist Round Up is here at The Rule of Reason.

Hey! Guess who is next week's host? Me!

Isn't dat veird?


(I promise not to make any Austin Powers references next week - although I admit to having a sudden urge to expand my use of the word shag to include the verb form rather than limiting it to the description of that 70's hairdo.)

I'm not sure I will.

I've been giving that some thought and while I like spicing up my weekly pointers to the Round Up, I'm not sure the actual Round Up will benefit from my idea of fun. Although...Halloween? C'mon! That's my time to fly!

So don't be surprised or disappointed.

There's No Place Like Home

Vacation was fun, but I like being home. I guess I'm just boring that way. There was plenty of sun, sand, salt water kisses, family, food, and fun. Maybe it was the lack of tutus and tiaras.
