I got Chris Mercurio’s book Dear Obama in the mail. In it, he records the first two years of the Obama presidency — from Obama’s election to the 2010 election — by writing letters to Obama trying to be an enthusiastic supporter. For instance, in reacting to Obama’s “share the wealth” plans, as a bald man he suggest some sort of hair-fairness plan. Looks pretty funny; you can preview some of it on Amazon.

In other reading, I’m now on the third book of Game of Thrones. Man, is would be hard to read if it weren’t on a Kindle so I could just highlight all the archaic terms and get a definition. Is it really true that in medieval times people used the word “mummer” every other sentence?
