It's been a couple of days since I updated my ramblings. I'll confess that, for the most part, I've been taking the easy way out by publishing chapters from Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet". I know there are a couple of people who read this whom I had discussed the book with, and since it's my all-time favorite book of prose, I thought I might share a chapter a day throughout the month of February. That's boring. Time for my true villanous personality to re-emerge. And slowly, but surely, it is. Baby steps, you know.
That explains some of the insanity that follows. Well, almost.
Before we get to that, a serious item to share.
Sometimes, when the A.D.D. isn't flaming, I'll sit here at the PC and surf other people's blogs. Most are a waste of my time, but there are a few that have caught my attention, and I try to follow those on a daily basis. Either I recognize a fellow master villan, and their treachery or humor captures my attention, or there is something that touches my heart. This is one of the latter. The blog is published almost daily by a gentleman whose wife is in what sounds like perhaps the middle stage of Alzheimer's. He writes about what, to most people, might seem to be trivial events in their daily lives. But what describes is very precious to him as he watches his beloved wife slowly slip away from him. I feel almost guilty peering into the intimate moments of their lives, but it is very moving. Perhaps it will have the same effect on you, too. Check it out when you get the chance....

Alright, that's the last serious thing you'll see out of me today. There's plenty of time for that. Wallow in my insanity!
