I ain't fishin'

Dear Friends -

A clarification, if you will:

I've been told by people who know me IRL well that I'm more open and "real" here than I am in the physical world, and I suspect that they are right.

I ALWAYS like to see the feedback I get on posts. (OK, I reject some of them, but that's my prerogative.) The "good writing" ones, I like the most. The "you're wrong and here's why," or "you need to consider another viewpoint" are thought-provoking and I love those. And I am often both touched and embarassed by expressions of general support or even (shudder) sympathy. Perhaps that's a flaw in my character, that I can't simply accept those quietly. Well, whatever. In any event, I try to write what is on my mind, what I think may be of some passing interest here, and I hope that I am able to poke fun at myself. I am not, however, being maudlin to evoke some particular reaction. Here, I feel free (ok, more free than IRL) to reveal that I AM somewhat maudlin.

Damfino why I thought I needed to say this. But I did.

And more, hopefully of interest, later.

BTW - Whether you are conventionally Christian or not (I'm not), Easter is a good day to think about sacrifice, redemption, renewal, rededication, and spring.

Mizpah!
