More A Way Of Life… Look, this is just between you and me

The Millennial Posting

Well, here it is - the last posting (by me) for five days. Two topics:

The German election - I've mentioned before that I'm an election junkie, and it's not just our own that I remain glued to. Yesterday's German vote was a bigger cliffhanger than the last US one, and I was extremely pleased to note that much of the credit for Gerhard Schroeder's recent revival of fortune is put down to his opposition to miltary action in Iraq. Still, it leaves him in control only by dint of his coalition with the Green party, and I'm equally pleased to see Greens in a position to wield influence.

And The Emmys - big shocks in the lead categories: Six Feet Under misses out on the major awards, and The West Wing grabs Best Drama for the third time. As I suggested might happen, Allison Janney won a third Best Actress award in a row, and John Spencer and Stockard Channing also got nods. I'm pleased about them all, but I'm stunned that Six Feet Under didn't do better.

I've averaged 1.88 postings per day over these first 1000, by the way.
