Wars and Rumours of War

The past two weeks have been eventful!

News has actually been interesting enough to keep me off the computer. (Some!)

From Israel, to Yemin, to Serbia, to the Debates, to the Stock Market free fall, things have gotten very interesting.

A history professor once told me that the Chinese had an ancient curse:

[c] May you live in interesting times.[/c]

Or, as Professor Tolkien put it, in THE HOBBIT:

Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a good deal of telling anyway.

This little hobbit hopes that things do not get very much more interesting!
