The Week in Review

It's been a fairly good week, all things considered. I still haven't finished polishing the prisms paper, but I've begun looking at polygons, and quadrilaterals, from a new perspective, and it seems quite promising. I just finished reading China Mieville's Kraken; he remains one of the champion producers of Weird in the field. (I may post a review in a day or two.) I'm almost done with History of the Conquest of Peru, and have concluded that, even by the standards of the day, Francisco Pizarro was a right bastard. The paperwork for my new account with MassMutual has been completed, and the rollovers should be in progress.

And the Cardinals won the World Series. They're not my favorite team - they're actually around #6 on the list - but no team higher on the list made the playoffs, and I do, after all, live in the St. Louis metro area, so....

(On the personal level, a good week. On a larger scale: not real happy about some of the stories coming out of, e.g., Oakland and Nashville; refresher courses on the First and Fourteenth Amendments would seem to be in order.)
