I’ve been totally wiped out since Saturday, stricken with a really bad flu that had me with a 101.3 degree temperature. I’m feeling much better now, on antibiotics and recovering watching “Drag Me To Hell” on HBO. I just bought a new phone. It’s a droid so it should help me handle my business affairs more efficiently!

I’ve done a lot of reading lately and here are a few articles that I really enjoyed  about one of my favorite authors, Christopher Hitchens, and his admirable stance to remain true to his atheistic beliefs in the face of his own mortality.

Another about Greg Gutfeld whose decided to open an Islam-friendly gay bar near Park 51 aptly called “Dialogue”, and finally one about how even though H.P. Lovecraft created his mythos from fabrications from his own imagination to make an anti-religious point, Cthuluism has now been used to form an actual religion, something it was intended to poke fun at in the first place. Enjoy.
