You must be an engineer, or a teacher.

I not sure I like the description “intellectual blog,” but it’s been called much worse!

Merry Xmas!

I never thought about the subscription thing – I’ll look into it.

I’m not a teacher, I’m an engineer, but I’ve been described by a colleague as a “Luddite nerd.”

I visited your intellectual blog and read your post on Moby Dick. Are you a teacher? Nicely presented.

Probably my vision, but I did not see a place on the home page to subscribe.

In most of my pieces, there is a story within a story. That’s the goal, at least.

Thank you for taking your time to read.

I like your blog very much; I’m just exploring it now. I enjoy the fact that I don’t quite get where you’re coming from, as opposed to so many blogs that are all too clear from the start. And, I loved Gilgamesh!

In that case, wait until Cheri goes to her office on Monday when she can verify which translation might be the best.

Until then, a little teaser (since you are one yourself)

Midway this way of life we’re bound upon,
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
Where the right road was wholly lost and gone.

Ay me! how hard to speak of it–that rude
And rough and stubborn forest! the mere breath
Of memory stirs the old fear in the blood;

A snag. There is no Kindle version after all. All this will take some time. it will now go into my Paper Book rotation.

Maybe the Ciardi translation, but if you want to use the Kindle, then go with the Hollander.

Look forward to your thoughts about this work of art.
