“You know, Ellsworth,” he said, leaning forward, happy in an uneasy kind of way, “I . . . I’d rather talk to you than do anything else, anything at all. I had so many places to go tonight – and I’m so much happier just sitting here with you. Sometimes I wonder how I’d ever go on without you.”

“That,” said Toohey, “Is as it should be. Or else what are friends for?”

i keep thinking, what if Obi-Wan Kenobi had killed Anakin Skywalker on the lava planet of Mustafar? Anakin symbolized Obi-Wan’s weakness and failures. Had Obi-Wan killed Anakin when it was obvious that he’d failed as a Anakin’s instructor and Anakin had crossed to the dark side, the galaxy would have been changed forever. Darth Sidious would not have gotten his apprentice, and the Jedi knights would have survived to this date.

When Obi-Wan had the opportunity to kill Anakin, he should have taken it. Instead he demonstrated the Jedi’s legendary mercy. But perhaps it was actually vindictiveness, as Anakin smoldered on the ground beside his severed limbs. Whatever, Obiwan should have just done it.

a quick way to turn around a great weekend is right before your eyes:

To come out of your office at 7pm after a very hard day of work, and to see your car window smashed and your valuables gone. This happened in the supposedly safe suburb of woburn ma. today i am really sad and disappointed. it is only my second week at this job, and to have this happen right there is ….. sigh

I’ve read that it is a good idea to post the Serial Number of your GPS unit if it is ever stolen. That way, if it pops up on Ebay or Craigslist for sale, someone can google for the serial number.

Manufacturer: Tom Tom
Model: TomTom One
Serial Number: KHXPC 6CZA8 F36VA
Stolen on 12/3/07 in Woburn, MA

I know it would be naive to imagine it being recovered, but at least this way someone might have a hard time selling it.

Just wish I could escape all of these problems and burdens. Just for a few days of vacation and freedom. I’m so tired of all of this. No one is here to help out. The weekend and all its fun is gone, as well as my friends who got back into their airplanes and left.
