Lazy Sunday

Today has proven to be quite a lazy day. I haven't done much of any real concern today. I got up this morning and Sue cooked a nice breakfast for us. After that, Greg and Sue went fishing at Lynnhaven Inlet, and I went to Barnes and Noble and purchased a book by Dr. Thomas P. M. Barnett, a Naval War College Professor called, "The Pentagon's New Map." I have been intrigued by some of his works I've read, and I've seen some of his PPT presentations. Last night Greg and I caught part of a presentation he was giving to the National Defense University. It pushed me over the edge and I had to buy his book. My only hope is that I'll get the chance to meet him while I'm up in Newport going to school. Here is a link to his website: http://www.thomaspmbarnett.com
I'm sure you'll find it as intriguing as I have.

I'm sitting here reading my selections for class on Tuesday night. I'm finding them somewhat boring, and at the same time somewhat interesting. The new world order seems hard to predict, and even harder to label with some title that sums it up into a neat little package. Instead, we are looking at 4 different approaches to the new world, yet thus far I have found that you could take the four approaches, smack them together and come out with a theory that works better than the four do independently. Of course you would lose parts of each theory, but they would still fit a framework. That's just my opinion, though.

Anyway, I need to get back to reading, I wanted to post something for today. I'll try to post more tomorrow, hopefully I can get the energy to do so before we head over to Mike's for his Labor Day party.
