An article by (my favorite) Hanson is a step back from the disheartening gloom of late vis-a-vis Iraq and the Middle East and a call for level-headed remembrance. That doesn't mean it's good news particularly, but it does serve to remind one of the idea that where international relations are concerned, the choices are often not between good and bad, but between bad and worse.
On a lighter note, 12 Monkeys, an SF movie I watched the other night that starred Bruce Willis, turned out to be pretty good.
And in the park today, practicing flute again — grey and overcast before it actually opened up and rained — ended in a little comedy. Even though I was playing very softly and nothing crazy, the woman at the next bench who never said a word after greeting me — in retrospect it seems I was being informed that I had entered her private domain — began sending salvos of cell phone ring tones my way to combat my flute. When I stopped, they stopped. I eventually left when the rain started, half shaking my head, half chuckling.
