Things That Matter

I have the week off from work. I could be taking some time to discuss the housing market and other economic issues. I could be taking some time to discuss the shortcomings of each of the presidential candidates. I could be talking about China/Tibet or other matters of international politics.

I could even be talking about philosophy.

But it just doesn't feel compelling right now. I read the news and I hear the pundits and it seems to me that there is less dialogue going on than usual. There is of course a place for snarky mock-and-jaw blogging between the Right and the Left, but I prefer conversations that have some chance of actually going somewhere.

That being the case, I'm getting much more satisfaction from home improvement projects right now. Even though the ceiling fan project is hitting some unexpected snags.

Let me know when some more compelling issues come up.

Update: fully armed and operational. Surprise bonus: dimmer switch.
