Sully's Blog

Mark Sullivan, a writer/friend of mine who has real material published on dead wood, has a blog now so he can slum with the rest of us blogospheric hacks. A former house-mate in the 'Burgh, Sully is responsible for coming up with my nickname and rescuing me from a situation in a rather insane living situation in Lower Saint Clair. We had many adventures together before I bolted and moved to the Mistake on the Lake back in '98.

So far his blog has been very practical. Yesterday he blogged on how to turn candy bars into MP3 files, a great and useful work of alchemy.

Welcome to the blogosphere, big guy.

Some Fellow Named Oengus Moonbones...

Thanks awfully much, Oengus, for the kind words. I was just finishing your delightful review of Pessimism by Dienstag when I saw your mention of lil' ol' moi in your analogy of Crunchy Conservatism as meringue pie minus the filling.

Oengus is someone who can retain a certain joviality even while reflecting on topics, even poetically, that seem to cause many to retreat into saturninity. And despite his moniker, I detect very little lunacy either. Must be his Christianity. Weird tho' my sense of humor be, I wouldn't have one at all if God didn't squirt seltzer in my face many, many moons ago.
