Hmmmm. . .maybe I should finally read the Guide to. . . that someone gave me for a birthday years ago. Sounds like a fun book.
Geez, now that I know Obama can provide hope against hurricanes, I think I'll vote for him.
LAN3, glad to have aided to your enlightenment.

Lex: it's pretty good. More academic in its styling, but the one section on where ZMM stands relative to various Eastern and Western traditions, and then this other section about stuff in the draft that didn't make it into the final version, both have been good.
Back in Virginia Beach, where I grew up, we had a different form of hope against hurricanes, but it amounted to common sense things, like non-corrupt local government, self-reliance, and above all, living above sea-level, which is a no-brainer no matter how you look at it. If only I'd known that big government, lead by a charismatic leader with a past entirely constructed from his own autobiographies, was the answer all along! God, we were such fools!

I should go this weekend.

I think Harvard Sq's is a little less organized.
