Things are getting a bit back to normal at the homestead now that Stephanie and I have moved into our new apartment and gotten away from our old house with (a bit) of our dignity intact. We hope to start working on a new “Retributioners” soon, and meanwhile, I’m hoping to start blogging more frequently again, now that the desk is here and (half) finished.
The only reason we’re still not hitting on all 8s yet is that we’re trying to fulfill other obligations we had to put off during the Sturm und Drang of the move.
We just spent a couple of days hosting out-of-town guests for St. Paddy’s day, and I managed to do two things I’ve never done in New York: watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade and see the Broadway show “Rent,” shortly before it is closed for good. The latter was a great show, which I would highly recommend if it weren’t already 12 years old and about to close. So I shall not recommend it for those reasons. The parade, however, was hours and hours of watching policemen and fireman march down Fifth Avenue, a callithump only occasionally interrupted by elementary school girls doing the Irish step dance and bagpipes. There were no floats. There were, however, several displays of Irish Republican Army pride, in which I could, sadly, not share. I have no dog in that fight.
Anyway, I’m trying to catch up a little with a few blogs today. And if you’re interested, I just put “The Dionysian Rationale” back up on ER Salo Deguierre’s page. I’m still getting a lot of hits there lately. I’m not sure if I got popular on purpose or accidentally.
May the rose rise to bite you,
Eric
