On Vacation...

I'll be heading out of town for my holiday vacation, so things may be quiet around here for a while.

I don't expect that I'll spend much time blogging while out of town, but I do hope to get to my Top 5 Books of the Year post before I return, and if I'm lucky, give you a glimpse of the future of what's to come in 2012 for Battle Hymns...

Like my man Arnold Schwarzenegger said in Predator right after killing a man with a knife: "Stick around".  I'll do my best to make it worth your while.



Until then, enjoy some Dio!

RIP Dio

Yesterday, the metal community got a little bit smaller. Ronnie James Dio, the voice of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Dio has died. Inventor of the rock horns and possessor of one of the greatest singing voices of all time. Dio truly rocked. He'll be missed
