Brant, I just noticed your new quote from Hitchens... maybe it isn't new, but it's new to me... anyway, I am about 60 pages into Dawkins' The God Delusion and I have to say... where Hitchens is like the witty british tart of atheist non-fiction, Dawkins is the "demolish all arguments before they even have a chance to be made" kinda guy... He is the Frost to Hitchens' Wilde... or something like that... It's a GREAT read so far. Let me know if you want it when I'm done (which should be about 2011 at the rate I read books lately... manbearpig is a giant time suck)

I'd be delighted to read the Dawkins book when you're done with it. Perhaps you could stop by the office. I'm sure Moe would be tickled to see you, too. Or just carry it with you every time you go to THE Giant Eagle. We're bound to run into each other there eventually.

The Hitchens quote is relatively new, by the way.

I'm thinking of taking a week off in January. Just to sit home and not give a darn whether it snows or not.

Brant it's funny our custodian uses 1/2 of his vacation time taking Fridays off in the winter. He thinks that he won't have as much snow to clear. He got in into his head that it usually snows on Friday. We all pee ourselves when it snows any other day, because he is outside cussing and shoveling, cussing and shoveling!

I think that guy needs some professional help. Laughing
