Patriarch Pavle of Serbia has died. He was a voice of reason, love, and peace in some of the most trying times in recent history. He was almost universally loved, even by those who supported the war criminals he publicly condemned. He was a guiding light, and humanity is the poorer for his passing.

May his memory be eternal.

Anniversary Presents

Things I got with my $50 Amazon gift certificate:

Emmet, in celebration that Leo Politi is finally back in print

Ordinary Men, which was recommended to me

The Great Mortality

Going Nucular, which should be a fun read about English

and, of course, just so that papertigers has the chance to tease me,

Pollyanna, on DVD.

I made a good-sized dent in my Amazon wish list and am very excited.
