The Patriots lost, but what an amazing game.

To be in Tucson from 23 Jan to 30 Jan.

In my current re-watching of the seventh season of The West Wing, I've come to two conclusions:

No show packs an emotional punch like tWW did.

...and...

No woman is foxier, somehow, than Mary McCormack.

So this, then, is good news.

Over the course of the past two years, I've faced questions about what I actually "do" with my "free time." So what I'm going to do is provide you a list, at the end of every day, for a week, with everything I've watched, eaten, read and listened to, all day long. This will give you lots of information and very little knowledge. I like the idea of that.

So here is a log for 02 Jan 07:
