Looking foolish does the spirit good. The need not to look foolish is one of youth's many burdens; as we get older we are exempted from it more and more, and float upward in our heedlessness, singing Gratia Dei sum quod sum. (John Updike, Self-Consciousness: Memoirs, 1989, Ch. 6)

Dereliction of Blog Duty
A couple of folks -- loyal readers of this blog, it seems -- have chided me gently about the infrequency of my postings of late. I plead guilty to the charge. In this season between winter and spring, my life just seems rather devoid of things to write about. I seem to be awash in the warm quotidian bath of which I spoke back on New Year's Day. Thanks for your loyalty, friends. Things are bound to change. They always do.

Hooray!
Always enjoy your writing. I trust you are also enjoying mine. WES
If I only knew what a "quotidian bath" is. You authors are very smart.
"quotidian (kwo-tid'e-en) adj. 1. Recurring daily; 2. Everyday;commonplace." From the American Heritage Dictionary. You should get one of those, so you can be smart like me. (I assume you know what a "bath" is; if not, you should get one of those too, so you can be clean like me).
