Three Things

1. No Country For Old Men is an amazing book. Better than the movie, it portrays the Javier Bardem character more than just the bad guy, but as the anti-Christ everyone has been fearing. My favorite line so far, when the main character is on the run after taking the money: "He ate in a restaurant with white tablecloths and waiters in white jackets. He ordered a glass of red wine and a porterhouse steak. It was early and the restaurant was empty save for him. He sipped the wine and when he steak came he cut into it and chewed slowly and thought about his life."

2. Mad Men is a fantastic tv show. I wouldn't like it if I heard only the premise, but it's so well written that it transcends its plot. It highlights the problems in modern society by focusing on the ones we've supposedly overcome.

3. So far, it looks like we've got three trials coming up in the fall, in addition to the trip to Israel. That is ok with me.
