Abbreviated Eudemon
Busy weekend: deadlines looming, more office work, Father's Day festivities (it
ought to be "Father's Day Month," so I can work in all the events). If you're
looking for Father's Day stuff, here are two links:

No Eudemon
Worked 7:30 to 8:30 yesterday. Today promises another 12-14 hours. No time for
anything, including blogging. I did see today is the memorial of St. Anthony

No Hitter!
Justin Verlander becomes the first Tiger to throw a no-hitter at Comerica Park

One reason I haven't jumped on the Ron Paul ship is because I'm not sure he's a

Picture Monday
Not a lot of time for blogging today. I watched the final episode of The
Sopranos last night. It stunk. This blogger (widely considered one of the most
insightful of Soprano experts) liked it
