Nobrainer’s Think Tank

• Since Clemson does not play UVA in football this year (unless UVA can meet the Tigers in the new ACC championship game), I have a great interest in gathering a group to go see the Tigers in College Park, MD.
• There is also a good chance that I’ll try to make it to the Henry Rollins spoken word show in Alexandria on 15 October.
• Although I am now watching ‘Gods and Generals’, I was earlier listening to songs by Shooter Jennings, son of the late country music icon Waylon Jennings. Although I have had several of Shooter’s songs for a while, I was still not sure what I thought of them. As my feelings toward the music warmed up, I searched for his website. It was pleasantly surprising to see that he will be in Charlottesville on September 15th. Y’all better watch out. I’m almost starting to like this town.
• Although I have watched ‘Gods and Generals’ and ‘Gettysburg’ several times each, I have found them to be much more appreciable after having started to read ‘A History of the Southern Confederacy’.
• Speaking of confederacies, ‘A Confederacy of Dunces’ is a good read. Although if you don’t read much, I’d recommend ‘Catch 22′ first.
• My birthday is still several months off, but I’m building my wish list, so that you know what to buy for me.

That is all.
