Picked up Rick Atkinson's An Army at Dawn to read while I am between chapters of Zinn. Ordered The Great Tax Wars from Barnes & Noble.

Found another kindred soul who is doing posts for their cat. Kotoka and Hassie sound like a fun pair of kitties. Now Genny can have a little feline blogosphere going.

Need to get moving on creating my game for Origins this year. Been most interested in Historical Wargaming. OMG! Command magazine is still around. Hmmmm, you can subscribe to the newstand version too! Kewl! Strategy and Tactics ought to look at that option. I have been looking for a good Age of Sail game, Close Action looks to be the best option right now. Maybe I can find a copy at Origins this year. Only 1400 copies in print. Yeesh!
