I read JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit for the first time since at least Junior High, or maybe even before.

I finally read the copy of The Mueller Report Illustrated that someone gave me a while back. I think this is just the obstruction of justice investigation. I was dreading the bad memories it would inevitably dredge up.

A long time ago a friend of mine had the double-LP progressive rock album Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of the Worlds. I dredged up a bootleg on youtube and listened to it again.

Long about 1996, I read The Text of the New Testament (subtitled Its Transmission, Corruption and Restoration) by Bruce M. Metzger, 3rd edition.
