A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
A time will come when a politician who has wilfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own. -H.G. Wells, writer (1866-1946)Gotta love that Anu Garg.

What else is going on? I've been thinking about watching The Prisoner on AMC. Oh, sure, you say, now that McGoohan's dead. Well, yeah, between people talking about that and AMC doing the new version and everybody pointing to AMC's site, like I just did, I'm thinking about it. I never watched it before. I mean, I've seen scenes as my wife was watching it, I know the set-up, I know the music, I even know the Iron Maiden song:
The Prisoner - Iron Maiden
The Prisoner - Iron Maiden
But I never really sat down and watched the show. You know what would be cool? Many years ago the Sci Fi Channel ran a Prisoner marathon and Harlan Ellison, who loved the series, did intros for each episode. It would be cool to see those. If anyone knows if those are available, let me know. It's not that In Search of The Prisoner documentary on YouTube either.
The former wife is feeling much better, by the by. She expects to be feeling shockingly nifty by Monday. This, I think, is all that I have to say for right now. Bye.
