Just another day in the country. Not today, mind you. Today was a day of marking exams. If you've ever spent a day marking exams, you'll understand my desire to be in the country instead.

And, on the "This Just In" front - good to see George and the Boys are continuing to do a bang-up job in Iraq. Yep, the Olympics, symbol of world peace, got hit today. I guess George & Co. can take heart from the fact that it was evidently an "equal opportunity" hit - Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds, Christians. I wonder if the 30 kidnap victims are sitting even now in some dank basement singing "We Are the World".
