Welcome back, Jeff.
And with things to say, plus a spiffy new design.
Here's an interesting observation:
And it occurred to me: the world is a great boulder rolling down a hillside, and we are the moss that covers it. We squabble among ourselves. We bicker and wrestle and strive. And from our perspective — you know, the little bits of moss — it seems like our daily struggles are the most important things in the universe. But from a wider angle, we’re just moss on a rock. We can’t stop the stone from rolling down the hill; we can’t significantly change its course. Oh, sure, if we all work together, we can nudge it a little bit this way or that. From the point of view of a piece of moss, that’s a world-changing event. But from the wider view, we’re all still just stuff on a rock.
I'm not totally sure I agree. Yes, I admit that we are all victims of history, as well as of our own inexorable slide towards the future. But I don't think it's so much of a hill that we roll down as a river...to use another bad metaphor.
Life is life. We go along, we try to find some meaning, and hopefully we have some great relationships along the way. Life requires effort, and that effort is what keeps us rolling along.

Barry, Barry, Barry...
You only just link Karol, and didn't realize she's an NYC Republican before now?
*waves hand*
I am too. Actually had Karol linked a while ago, though we have yet to meet.
Perhaps I will throw a birthday party for myself next week and invite all the conservibloggers in the city. Could be a good opportunity to network.
Anyone interested?

Barry has the right idea
He's going to spend today in the movies. I'm going to spend it driving. With a dog.
And yesterday, which, according to Michele, there hasn't been, and I quote, "a day this hot and oppressive since August 1977".
And I was on Randall's Island, with 20,000 other people, bouncing up and down to punk music.
Oh, photos? Need to dig those out. Though they're mostly of dust clouds. It was kind of a problem.
So yeah. Air-conditioned car today.
Though knowing me, I'll hit traffic and overheat the damned thing.

Jeff always has interesting things to say
Jeff, over at The Shape of Days, has two posts of note right now. I have more to say on both of these later (I'm working on a deadline for a site design at the moment), so I hope he'll forgive the double trackbacks, but for now, they stand on their own.
He writes about the impact of words as seen by Tom Friedman, while I check to make sure we're all still here. Yup. All here.
TBC...

Go bug someone else
Jason hasn't posted for a while. Go tell him to post.
And to activate comments.
Bastard.

Stormy Weather, but not the song.
I wasn't smart enough to go out and take pictures of the storm that just passed by, but Michele did. Pretty, as always.
I love summer thunderstorms. Would love to have more of them. A good afternoon thunderstorm, two or three times a week works wonders on the spirit. Not to mention health. Get some of those positive ions in you, let the rain wash away the pollen, the germs, the NYC pollution...Everything is clean again, and that is truly a wonderful thing.

Newsweek Pseudo-Roundup
I don't really have to do this, since Sissy and Insta, or Insta, or how about Insta again?
And then there were the two stories that turned me on to it first last night... Insta, of course, and Scott from AMCGLTD.com (still trying to figure out what the damned name means).
(Quick added note. I have left a message board over this topic. More accurately, I have left said message board due to the insensitivity and deliberate denseness of four of its inhabitants. I am now stuck getting all my baseball fixes from Posted by Kat at 12:03 PM | Comments (1) | TrackBack

Links and Readable Places to Click
I need to do a couple major things to this site. One is change the colors/css. The other is add all my links.
I don't particularly feel like staring at code for another couple hours. Spent the last day creating databases for market research and cost-benefit analysis. And dealing with my tech-illiterate boss/uncle, who doesn't even know how to maximize a Word window. Or any window, for that matter.
Ow, my poor head...Need sleep...
Oh, there's more to do? Yay.
