A little cross-promotion, if you’ll pardon the intrusion….
Some friends of mine (actual, not just in my head) called Friends in Your Head are going to do a marathon of audio commentaries live-streamed on December 7. I AM SPONSORING (from my Zarban.com website) AND PARTICIPATING. We’ll be trading off over a 24-hour period as we talk thru all the Harry Potter movies as well as other topic in between.
It’s a charity event for the Against Malaria Foundation. Please consider throwing a little of your hard-earned cash that way!

Hi Derek. Wondering if you’ve heard of this new book on the Truman-era rebuilding of the White House (http://www.amazon.com/The-Hidden-White-House-Reconstruction/dp/1250000270) and what you think of it.
I am amazed by the shocking absence of JFK/JBK features on this most auspicious anniversary !
I don’t think I’ve ever marked assassinations or historical death days of other sorts. I don’t like to do anything special for that sort of thing.
