The Surge Is On
When you come right down to it, I have more in common with President Bush than I'd ever really let on in the past. We both once dreamed of owning a baseball team, both of us have unanswered questions about whether we truly served in the Texas Air National Guard, and we both have noses.
And both of us have foolishly embarked on projects that looked nice and easy on paper, but have turned into Sisyphean ordeals of woe and disappointment. His is Iraq; mine is the AFI 100 Movie Project.
And now he's decided to try a surge to finish off the war in Iraq, or at least keep it boiling long enough to hand it off in 2009. Not having the luxury of a successor, I have decided on a surge of my own. Beginning as soon as the Patriots' season ends (which could be Sunday, but I hope not), I will launch "Operation 25 Movies in 25 Weeks". You heard me. I own a lot of these on DVD and want to get this party finished before the technology is obsolete.
Futher details after (I hope) the Superbowl.

God bless your heart, Michael. I wish you lots of luck in your 'surge' to the finish line.
Go Patriots!
