A few random things, none of which seems worthy of a whole post.

First, fans and friends of Coptic -- Logos Bible Software want to publish Crum's Coptic Dictionary as well as Smith's Concise Coptic-English Lexicon (which serves as a supplement of sorts to Crum, accounting for Nag Hammadi material). Oh, these would be so cool! So get off yer duff, and get these wonderful references out of the pre-pub system and into production! I've only studied Coptic a little, but boy-howdy would these be cool to be able to utilize. For more Coptic goodness, see my Coptic books at LibraryThing.

Second, an update on MS copying -- I've had two brave souls offer to be guinea pigs ... er, uh, manuscript copyists. So I'm starting the project. Anyone else want to help?

Third, Joe and Jim -- you guys crack me up. Hey, maybe in 2006 y'all can post on a topic that you both can agree on? (Just a joke; couldn't help it.) On tea, I say loose may be better but bags are easier, so it depends on mood for me. On coffee ... well, I've posted on coffee before (a long time ago).

That's it. Enjoy the weekend, y'all.
