However, I have scheduled some entries to [...]

Egypt, Archaeology, Antiquities, Bureaucracy

15 July 2007 This and That

Today, my wife was not feeling well. Since it was a rainy Sunday afternoon, we settled into our room with some snacks and watched the Discovery Channel, dozing off here and there. It’s actually a fantastic way to spend a Sunday. You should try it some time! Today’s programming was all centered around Egyptology, especially [...]

In Memoriam: Lady Bird Johnson (1912-2007)

12 July 2007 This and That

Former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson Dies at 94 (Houston Chronicle) I try to stay on topic here at Withering Fig, but sometimes it’s appropriate, if only for a moment, to consider other things.
