May 29th Post

I actually feel more inspired to write a bit more. Quiet in the gym today. About half the usual crowd. Perhaps the warm weather draws people out into more outdoor activities. Work was quiet as well.

Began reading "Partners in Command: George Marshall and Dwight Eisenhower in War and Peace" by Mark Perry. Read first chapter. Highly engaging and recommended account of the leadership styles of both men with the backdrop of history. Actually the position of the US in the early 1940's was a lot more tenuous than previously thought. Interesting that Marshall only gave general recommendations for type of action to take but also gave freedom to his officers and generals to carry out their task in manner in which he saw most fit.

Sister's baby is doing fine. Swelling has gone down. She is quiet and only cries a bit when hungry. She actually looks a lot like me at one week old.

Forza has come out for the 360 but the reviews are high but also mixed. Odds are I'll just get it as a rental. Hard to justify $69.99 when I have Burnout Revenge and NSF MW and yet to make any real inroads in either game.
