Debbie Downer

Maybe I shouldn't post dark stuff like the previous, which needlessly puts people into an even gloomier frame of mind. That is not what these times call for.

But, as you likely recognize, I'm talking to myself here (while you eavesdrop). Working through ideas, making connections, trying to understand by explaining it all to myself. If I start directing this outward toward an audience, Slog might lose its sporadic, wheezing faculty for coughing up crude grains of insight.

I won't, however, linger in negativity. I like to mix it up! (that should probably be my epitaph...though I'm leaning toward "Kept all options open.").
