Not So Fast



There's your answer.

Because you must have been wondering.

In my dream I find myself in a world where wisdom has been lost and everywhere people wander aimlessly looking for it. There are certain dangers in this world. For instance, you want to avoid the black holes of ignorance, so dense and strong that if you cross the event horizon you're sucked into the hole forever. Nothing ever gets out. The holes are not easy to spot, so you have to keep your wits about you. A sure clue you're near one is a dense crowd of people bumping into each mumbling jabberwocky. All of a sudden everyone near me is pointing at me, walking deliberately toward me, and I feel as though I want to run but in my dream I'm frozen in place, unable to flee. When they're nearly on top of me I hear them begin to chant in unison, "He has the wisdom! He has the wisdom!"

And then I wake up.

Reality can be so comforting sometimes. Back now in the real world I find that if your normal sleep aids are failing you, you may want to check out Master's latest research paper. Nearly one hundred pdf downloads last time I checked - people must be desperate to sleep out there. I'm kidding!

Rest assured despite the blogging hiatus we are all doing well. 2010 promises many exciting trips for the uprights, for both work and play. I'll strive to blog more consistently, especially for those of you who have asked that I blog more consistently. But right now I'd like another nap. Oh that I don't find myself pulled into the World of Lost Wisdom again.
