Your Guest Host
While I'm enjoying a few days of hedonism in Miami, guest-blogging duties will be handled by my good friend Charles. Charles and I were classmates in law school and we lived in the same West Bank apartment building for several years. We share the same dry sense of humor and he is a writer of considerable skill. I'm confident that he'll keep all of you amused while I'm away. And I won't be completely abandoning you. My hotel has high-speed access and I'll try to post a couple updates and maybe a few pictures documenting my time in tragically hip South Beach. So give Charles a warm welcome and play nice with him while I'm gone.
I'm a big fan of The War of the Worlds. I own the DVD and I pop it in whenever I'm in the mood for something old skool. And now I hear that Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise are thinking about doing a re-make. It could be brilliant or a disaster. Part of me imagines the end of the movie as directed by Spielberg: Tom Cruise kneels beside the body of one of the dead aliens and cradles it in his arms, tears streaming down his criminally boyish face. "I could have saved them," he whispers, gently rocking back and forth with the alien corpse in his lap. "We could have been...friends."
Fade to black.
