yeah, I'm just grumpy.  everybody raves about 4 x 10, 3 day weekends,
but I haven't found a way to get my quota of sleep - the extra day off
is just another day to spend money which there's never enough of, end
up adjusting back to daytime waking just in time to miss a night's
sleep the 1st day back, just as soon be at work as some of the lame
stuff I do on my days off, and my butt is draggin' for those last 2
hours on the work days...(still, of all the things I've ever had to
complain about, this has to be one of the puniest)

it does sound like a good book.  didn't mean to be a buzzkill.  I
remember when the list discussed it when it came out in French, I
think Pynchonoid read it in French; the previous work of Mr Littell
sounded like a kind of right wing futuristic sci fi and I've got him
pegged as an undesirable (I learned from recent viewing of Sports
Night the AA phrase "contempt prior to investigation" which I seem to
have been applying)
Still, I probably won't get around to that just yet.  Put me down for
it in maybe 2011...

now for something completely different...
Here's a neat link, perhaps: http://www.laborheritage.org/videos.htm
