Severely disappointed.

On the way to work this evening, I stopped at Rite Aid. In line I saw US News & World Report on Display with "Sacred places" emblazoned on the front cover. I picked it up and glanced at the table of contents. Saw Delphi listed as one of the places and decided to go ahead and buy the magazine. There was a long line behind me, so it seemed rude to flip through the magazine and waste time.

I got on the train and found the article, which is about 3/4 page long. I read the article.

If I didn't know better, from the article, I would swear that Delphi is just some old ruined building with geological fault lines running under it that collected some sweet-smelling gas that makes people go funny. Oh, and there were a couple of Plutarch references.

Okay. HOW do you write a an article about Delphi, however short, and completely fail to mention Apollo's name- even once? There was no mention of spirituality in the article or Delphi being a sacred place.

Seriously thinking about writing letter to editor.

Hey! Call Fred Merrill ASAP - for some reason, a package has arrived at his house for you.

I talked to him yesterday and today. It seems that I never deleted the old address from my paypal account, and clicked on it by mistake when paying for something on ebay...but he's already taken it to the post office to forward it to me. Thanks.
