I have showered and gotten dressed. Right now, that's feeling pretty ambitious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whew. The power tool-requiring part of the move is complete, thanks to lori's assistance. And spackling's done.
Whee! Nothing but instructor training left on the day's schedule.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
many of you are too ambitious this morning.
Not me. I took oatmeal bread out of the bread machine, which was too short: I think my yeast was kinda dead. And my sister woke me at 9 am to ask if I'd take her daughters into the city to shop for shoes. Woe.
I love the girls but I really didn't want to go back into the city this weekend. Ah, well.
I need to run errands and do some writing.
Have fun in Denver, Lee! Play with the puppy!

George Kennan was a diplomat who wrote the Long Telegram which outlined the policy of containment that the US State Dept. adopted in 1946. He saw the actions of the USSR as worrisome not because they were communist but because of Russia's history of imperialism.
Anyhow, when containment was implemented primarily through military, he totally argued against how it was working and pressed for a more political solution.
Most recently he spoke out very strongly against the Iraq war becuase entering a war with any fuzzziness of purpose means that the outcome becomes even harder to predict (my version not his).
His book, American Diplomacy was a favorite of mine. I liked the man';s writing quite a bit and thought that his realpolitik vision of the world matched what I was observing. I studied his work often when I was doing Foreign Policy stuff.
