Deadwood Returns

:: Deadwood, the brilliant Western frontier drama set in Deadwood, South Dakota in 1877, is back on HBO, and in Canada, on Movie Central. I was going to write about it, but then noticed Tony's post, so I will defer to his equally brilliant review

:: I exhausted from doing what seems to be nothing at work but writing. A letter to support a colleague's upcoming tenure, a column on RSS for Engineering Information, revisions to the chapter I am writing on the literature of petroleum engineering and refining. For one who does not consider himself a writer by any stretch of the imagination (I surround myself with friends who do it much better than I ever will), what I'm learning is that writing takes a lot of time, and a lot of energy, and can be simulateously very rewarding and mentally draining.
