Yes, it's true. I took a week off. On Friday I received a promotion at work. I'm excited, nervous, overwhelmed and enthusiastic. So my mind hasn't been on last year. It actually really has been on "today" each and every day.

I will be back soon.

In the meantime, here's something to shake up your knowledge of history. I've always wanted to study theology, even though I'm not very religious. It just seems like a field with so much "scatter", conflicting records, difficulties separating myth from fact. I'm trying to figure out how they know what ancient texts really meant. Anyone, here's one you won't find on a fundamentalist Christian website.
