By Way of Explanation

It was yesterday morning, not yet 10:00, and 3 people had written demanding that I update my blog.

There was just one problem: I hadn't a thing on my mind! In fact, I haven't had a thing on my mind in days.

But I do have endless bits of old writings floating around my computer and also brain, & most of it unread by you, if you didn't live in Pittsburgh in the early part of the twenty-first century, & much of it beloved of me, all of its parent-creator. The preceding story -- which was originally in the sad sad undergrad literary journal of the University of Pittsburgh in 2004 -- is one such item, and here it is one more time, and I will meditate upon the implications of this in a later post.

For now, good day.
