Salve Irene!

Gradually getting caught up - I should be back on board with "How to Mellify
a Corpse"

Meantime, here are two links -- one from your most recent excursion, the
second
just because it was a refreshing look back:

*Canadian Broadcasting Corp. "Ideas" radio series -- listen free on line*

*The Ghosts of Cannae *-- discussion with Robert O'Connell (author of the
book you've just read)
airdate Thursday Aug 4, 2011
In 216 BCE, forty-eight thousand men were killed a massive knife fight
between the Romans
and Carthaginians in a single day. Military historian *Robert O'Connell *tells
us about that
gruesome day, and how armies fought then and now.
http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/episodes/2011/08/04/the-ghosts-of-cannae-1/

*Thucydides - the first journalist*
About 2,500 years ago, Thucydides travelled ancient Greece, gathering
stories
about a brutal war that plunged the ancient world into chaos. He set high
standards
for accuracy, objectivity and thoroughness in his reporting. IDEAS producer
*
Nicola Luksic* explains why his account of the Peloponnesian War is relevant
today.

See y'all soon.

Hello all,

I'm doing some housekeeping.

I do have an independent mailing list for the active chat participants.

If you are seriously considering participating in the chats, or alternately are
on the above list and want to get off it, please let me know, either way.

Thank you!

Irene, I still follow your emails, but am not participating in the chats.

By mid-April we should no longer have to get up at 4:30, so the hours of the
chat will be do-able again for me.
