Lileks Tempts the Fates
James Lileks reports today that he:
1. Managed to not only avoid a demotion in his paper's reorganization, but has landed a new and more frequent collumn.
2. Sent Gnat off to her first day of kindergarten and he anticipates all the future bus-stop mornings.
3. Got an Apple Nano-Ipod, which is so new even the Instapundit can't get one yet.
and
4. He made PERFECT hamburgers for dinner.
If I have learned anything from a lifetime of watching war movies it is this:
James Lileks is about to be killed by an enemy sniper.
It's really a shame, too; I liked his books.
