Over the past few months my taste in music has expanded quite a bit, particularly to classic rock and some rock from the late 70′s and through the 80′s. To be specific: Pink Floyd and Phish.

I meant to post this awhile ago, but The OpinionJournal had a great piece up on the undesirable practical consequences of Roe v. Wade.

I can’t help but notice that I haven’t posted anything in exactly two weeks. I’m not quite sure why this is; likely a combination of working full time and not having the energy to write anything.
