Navigation By Dead Reckoning

"In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds." -Henry David Thoreau, "Where I Lived, What I Lived For," in Walden, 1854.

Absent With Leave.

Hi there,

A month after my last post, I still don't have much of an itch to commit my thoughts to the blinking cursor. I've been taking it easy, and simmering some ideas to address when, as Mike Muir sang, "The Feeling's Back."

In the meantime, here are some more links for your edification:

Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly says this site is "anti-American," which is as rave a review as I could ever write.

Hyper-literate music reviews. Thelonius Monk once said that "talking about music is like dancing about architecture." If that's the case, then these people sure can dance.

www.fark.com
The ultimate time killer. Great for cubicle dwellers and insomniacs.

More whenever I get around to it. In the meantime, get some sun.
