August Updates #3 - EGO & Dahly

The second July and first August EGO Meetings were a good time, including meetings at Dave's and Eric's (tough competition after Peter's July meeting!) Due to too much topical and social conversation, our discussion of Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology was derailed again last time, so we shall have to go at it with more determination to wrap up the book!

In addition, several EGO'ists paid a visit to the Redford Theatre to see Hitchcock's North By Northwest starring Cary Grant. An outstanding movie - on the outside chance you haven't seen it, be sure to put it on your shortlist. Strangely, the Barton theater organ overture seemed overlong ... and we didn't win the fifty-fifty raffle again (Eric's the only one to win so far, in our years of Redford Theatre patronage).

Dahly remains ever sweet. 'Cept she still seems determined to dig a warren in our loveseat. I'm reminded of the story (for which I don't recall the source, perhaps a Leonard Peikoff lecture ... I know Barbed Brandon mentioned it too, but hope it's true anyway), of how Ayn Rand wouldn't stand for de-clawing her cats, despite the damage to her furniture - in her heirarchy of values, happy cats were way above nice furniture. I agree (though of course it's best to have both a happy bunny and nice furniture, if you can).
