Big RED & Shiny has published its last issue, for which I failed to write anything (no surprise there); it follows many of the blogs this irrelevant website came up with in shuffling off. A whole bunch of others have taken their place, but I've not warmed up to many of them, and besides, we're now told the web is dead. The things taking its place seem at once significantly worse while still attractive enough to succeed, at least for the time being. And now I learn definitively that I've not even been in the running for a job I thought I might have a chance at and (worse) came to desire deeply; that it went to someone far better suited to it than me is proving no comfort. So: blah.
Maturity
Rats. If it's any comfort, know that some of us continue to marvel at your erudition, insight, and good sense just as we always have. I hoist an adult beverage in your general direction.

Thanks, man. I sure could have used a few of those adult beverages last night, though.

You mean there isn't a 'like' function on this? Heavens, what do I do now?
Tending an orchard may be the way forward - but as ever, you're perhaps a step or two ahead of me there.
