If I Wanted Your Opinion, I'd Ask For It

Pot of George has started to attract that blogging pestilence known as comment spam.

A few of my old posts have attracted comments along the lines of: "I agree with your comments about dogs, check out my pet supply web warehouse."

So I've disabled the quotes on the few plagued entries. I hope I don't have to remove the comments' function entirely.

Harumph!

Sleepless in Seattle

It's about 10.45pm Pacific time as I wait in Seattle for my flight to Chicago.

I'm en route from a mining reform conference in Spokane. To save Oxfam America some money on my air tickets, I'm taking three planes to and from Spokane. Connecting via Seattle and Chicago is a bit of a pain; I could not even find any wifi connection at O'Hare airport.

On my trip from Boston, I devoured Neil Gaiman's new book, "Anansi Boys." It made quite entertaining reading on my three-plane trek. However it did lack the epic feel and artfully concluded plot twists of "American Gods."

Meanwhile the new Gaiman-scripted film, MirrorMask, scored an excellent review in - of all places - the latest Entertainment Weekly. Maybe Ann and I will check it out after church next Sunday.
