The Dry Desert of Introspection:
Thought for the Day:
A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
Bertrand Russell British author, mathematician, & philosopher (1872 - 1970)
“…would you come to the chalk-board, please?”
I have little note worthy to say today, I find myself more than a bit depressed. I think its because I am trying to wean myself off the pain pills, I already have enough monkeys on my back, one more would make it a troop. It’s a little known fact that pain can and often does act as a depressant.
However I have noticed a return of my sex drive, which has been met with mixed reviews by my loving bride. I feel as though I have the hormones of a teenage boy coursing through my veins, which sadly benifits no one.

For aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth.

Quote of the Day:
One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.
