Obviously I didn’t post anything on Monday, but that is only a single data point, from which you should probably draw no definitive conclusions.
The fact is, I haven’t really decided how to proceed this year, posting-wise. I felt like I was losing inertia at the end of last year, not to mention wit, but I also can’t really imagine a total cessation. I’ll figure something out. Suggestions are always welcome, by the way.
For today, I offer a brief holiday update, and a link to clarity. (O that it were that simple.)
Our holidays completely failed to live up to the term “Suckiest Christmas On Record,” as it was dubbed by one of the organizers. With a bunch of help from willing hands, I managed to button up the home repair effort literally moments before the first guests arrived on New Year’s Eve. We ate, drank, made Merry, watched movies, played games, and just generally enjoyed one another’s company, almost oblivious to the the fact that much of the kitchen was floored only with plywood sub-flooring. At least the den and the hall had real flooring, not to mention furniture.
As for the clarity, this comes from today’s xkcd cartoon. It’s a link to the Wikipedia entry called List of Common Misconceptions. Some them will surprise you. And if you are as peculiar as I am, you will enjoy some of the “See Also” links. I followed Straight and Crooked Thinking, which led me to the web’s Way Back Machine archive, and eventually to 38 dishonest tricks.
I guess posting can be easy if I let the internet do most of the work!
Happy New Year to one and all.
