Non-political post

[jhetley]

I note a note of stridency creeping into this journal.  This is something up with which I will not put.  All well and good, to rage, rage against the dying of the light, but if you are truly dying that puts an end to it. 

I plan to live a while longer, and don't feel that I want to spend whatever amount of time in the level of simmering rage that politics would require.  Bad for the digestion, what?

The sky is blue, the grass is green, temperatures in the 70s F, and I need to touch up the paint job on the front porch, the spots the masking tape damaged in the epilogue.  Epilogues are supposed to tie up loose ends, not generate new ones.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox are proceeding according to precedent.  I anticipate that the Yankees will catch and pass Boston in about three weeks...

Good idea. I have to remind myself of the Serenity Prayer a lot these days. and the wisdom to know the difference.

Dearest monsieur Hetley -- I have great faith that our Neighbours to the South (tm) (provisionally stated, and with due regard to the relative positions of Windsor, Ontario, and Saginaw, Michigan, amongst numerous other exceptions) will eventually return to their senses and petition the future King William for readmission to the Commonwealth of Nations -- I am certain, too, that Canada will be amongst the first to volunteer Advisors for the establishment of your new Parliament, and I myself would bewilling to make the Supreme Sacrifice of accepting an invitation to become your first Governor-General.

Sincerely yours,
