I've been very busy lately. There are a whole lot of things I'd like to write about, but I just don't have the time. I'm in the last stretch before going on vacation and because business is so slow right now, I have to spend a lot of time at work. So, even though I don't have as much time for some of the long winded posts I'd like to make, I still do have time to put up a few interesting quotes from some of the books I've been reading. I just finished reading Nineteen Eighty Four and it is amazing how much of that book is relevant to toady. So bear with me dear readers, I will be posting lines from Orwell for a few days. Here's today's Orwell quote:
"...the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird."

vacation criss cross
I think that you and Ms. Nev are going to be leaving for your vacation at the same time that Jen and I come to New Orleans for ours :o( We're still working out the exact dates of arrival and departure but I have to be in N.O. for a deposition on Aug 17, so we figured we'd stay a few extra days since it's a 9 hour drive and all... If I'm wrong then we should hang out one night! ~KellyJuly 23 2005, 23:25:29 UTC 6 years ago
Re: vacation criss cross
It looks like we'll just miss each other. We'll be leaving on August 15th. It's too bad, it would have been nice to see you again.
