PMBOK Guide......."somebody kill me please, I'm on my knees, pretty pretty please, kill me. I want to die, put a bullet in my......" - still one of my favorite scenes in a comedy.

And yes the Project Management Course is kicking my butt. It seems all I do is go to work and then come home and work on the PMP certification stuff. I sure hope it is worth it in a few months.

Loved that book. When I realized I needed to know more about WWI, that, along with a few others, were incredibly helpful.

Right now: "When Breath Becomes Air" By Paul Kalanithi. Amazing story. Read it, and tell me if you didn't like it.

only a few chapters in, but the author makes a compelling case that societies do have choices and archaeological evidence shows that those that declined and disappeared often make bad ones in the face of threatening circumstances...

Andrew Breitbart once noted that "politics is downstream of culture"
He was right, of course, but culture is downstream of...What?

These are the choices societies live or die on!

Heard an interview with the author on NPR. Sounded more depressing than good. Would like your review when finished.
