Alrighty then!

Did we enjoy that? The comments were just flowing in! But you must admit that The Fool's Discontent wasn't HORRIBLE. Or at least the last part wasn't. As long as you take a broad approach to the whole thing. None of that "this line is awkward/ugly/stupid" kind of stuff. Please. I am not a poet.

But anyway, soon there will be a printed book. It is called Yesterday and Today, it's highly unique, you can read the first bit here (not that reading this excerpt can predict one's reaction to the rest of the book), and I am making websites which I will link to as soon as they do not cause me embarrassment to look at. I am not a web designer.

I think a while ago I said I was going to make a post devoted to another blogger who I don't know at all but has proven to be very fascinating. This will happen at some point, I still think. But I want to write something good, and currently I think I would call myself "mentally busy."

Also, the Indianapolis 500 is a fantastic institution and I love it. The pursuit of speed. Hanging it out on the ragged edge going into turn one. Ah, yeah. If you ain't seen it you may not follow. But you should check it out.

But nowadays, the series built around cars that race at Indianapolis (and otherwheres too) is in a bit of crisis, a financial situation brought on by, among other things, lack of identity. This guy, though he and I may not be idealistically in complete alignment (or we may, hard to tell), is at least THINKing deeply about the issue. Which is a fun thing for any issue. THINK! Yeah! and drink alpha king pale ale generously while doing so*
