Inspired simultaneously and erratically by the blog thoughts of both Stanley Lee and Ned Rorem.

"Why am I writing? To revive a tottering conviction, long ago banished to a dim corner of my room, that if we could Only Connect the world would have meaning. But what's the meaning of connect? And isn't the sense of life just as full or empty when alone? Nothing can penetrate the sumptuous solitude of Everyman, yet I have a frantic urge (many people I know do not, including composers and writers) to leave something."

-Ned Rorem, 1976

It's almost 5 in the morning. What are my thoughts?

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. These words somehow materialize in an unorganized fashion somewhere consequentially deep in my now-psycho psyche, like a drifting caption of a Far Side cartoon that loses itself from the page, unable to smell itself back.

Why? I don't know.

Is everything going well? I don't know.

One of the most memorable weeks for me. Thank you to my boys, and to my girl.
