Re: I Really Like a Steven Wright Joke I Heard Years Ago

[PEDANTRY ALERT] Actually, according Special Relativity, the answer is Yes, they would - at least in your frame of reference. Don't ask me what bystanders would see, 'cause I never quite wrapped my mind around that stuff. I was a Newtonian physics guy... /PEDANTRY ALERT] Great joke, though - love St...

Re: Chapbook

Note Worthy Listening to some Elliott Carter at the moment. I've had a pair of his string quartets in my LP collection for quite a while (hail Nonesuch Records!), and have enjoyed them on those occasions I've been in the mood for a quiet boat ride through dark, alien landscapes.

Re: Spirit Mountain

my parents brought us kids to Plymouth Rock once... a middling-sized boulder on the beach, surrounded by a fence... and tourists with brochures... history/legend reduced to a revenue stream...

Re: Holy Place

Thanks, all - it's as close to prayer as I come. Not exactly what I was taught in Catechism, but a whole lot more fulfilling.

Re: Chapbook

And in the meantime, you're supposed to sit quietly and wait until your name is called. Sorry this is happening - as if getting older weren't challenging enough already.
