OK, it's been a week since I've been here, but I've been very busy. The learning curve is still very steep and I have yet to make headway in posting opinionated comment. Maybe I can see Star Wars III this weekend. That movie seems to have set off many of my favorite writers to waxing on and on, so I must see it and make my own comments. That might prove a good exercise. In the mean time, by the time I figure out how to post links to relevant articles about the filibuster situation the matter will have been resolved. And, as far as Star Wars goes...can I compose a fair critique? I've read many reviews over the past couple of weeks (I wish I could link to a few), and I take it as a challenge to articulately espouse my opinion. I guess I gotta see the film.
