I spent last night drinking with a bunch of friends. Towards the end of the evening, somewhere around 11, we started planning a history film festival, taking us from depictions of the Roman Empire to World War II. We wrote down names of films on the paper menus. It was quite amusing. Maybe this film festival will take place, maybe it won’t, but it was fun coming up with possibilities.

I didn’t get home until 1 a.m., an unusually late night for me. Now I’m feeling tired. But it’s a beautiful day outside and I’m taking the kids to see Madagascar today. I think I will pause the blog for the weekend and get some much-needed rest and accomplish some other things.
