Recent & recommended: December (partial)

I've been thinking about a way to track my reading here (excluding required reading, research, mags & browsing), and the sidebar list with monthly archives like this on or near the 1st seems like a good idea. Mostly for my own curiosity--I like lists. This is the stuff that's purely for pleasure. We'll see how long I keep it up. (UPDATE: Moved this from 1/1 to 12/31--that way the reading list will show up at the top of each archived month. More convenient that way.)

Last year at this time...

I posted this.



This weekend I will post a highlights of 2004 list. Mebbe enlightening, perhaps entertaining.



And, boy oh boy, I may just have to renew that year-old resolution this time around. We'll see.

Is this thing on?

Have been trying to post, but Blogger ain't working, dudes.

Kicking off the new year with some old school love-type action

Reen & Mark just got engaged! Congrats, y'all!
