Superficiality

Dear Internet,

I have brought it to my own attention that there has been something of a dearth of poignant posting here of late.  As soon as I made myself aware of this, I reeled, aghast.

Star Wars and random linking and funny stuff and getting stung on the tip of my thumb are all well and good, but it doesn't get down to the core of the Simian, as it were.

I keep a document saved on my computer where I jot down the ideas I'd like to expound upon a little further in this here space.  I've got six solid ideas written down there, clamouring to be cloaked in verbosity.  I intend for them to start emerging into the light of day, as gladiators into the Colosseum, properly accoutred, in the near future.

To some degree, I plead an excessive amount of time spent working; I took my laptop home last night and spent a couple hours on it after the boy was put to bed.  I'm still averaging over 50 hours a week, so endeavour to incorporate some writing when and where I can: not nearly as much as I'd like.

Perhaps I'll start with telling you, internet, about the time I was bear-hugging my company's CEO in the men's bathroom at work.  That was an interesting experience.

So, sorry internet, I'll get better at shedding the chaff and getting more to the core of the matter.

I've also had a really cool Email discussion with a friend of mine in Ottawa regarding a religious post I made a short while back.  Hopefully, he'll let me publish the bulk of that; it was really a cool discussion that didn't get us any farther at the end than where we had started at the beginning.  Typical of religious discussions.

Respectfully,
Simon

PS - if you really want to get some hits on your site these days, just inundate a couple posts with 'Pope Palpatine'.  More than 80% of my hits the past week or so have come from being googled on that.

Bear hugging the CEO in the men's bathroom? Now, THAT'S a story I'm willing to wait for. Tina
