- Folks closing up shop in Blegsylvania for Giftmas - links as I find them interesting, though probably fewer than normal. Also, the threatened blogroll reorg from a month ago hasn't been forgotten, might finally happen this weekend - I use the blogroll as bookmarks and want to make my cruising easier. No one will be purged, few will be moved - I mostly want to pull out those blogs that don't provide update feeds so I remember to look at them. As always, if you're Kinding me and me not you, let me know.

Frank O'Hara
Have you forgotten what we were like then
when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth
it's no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners
the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water
I wouldn't want to be faster
or greener than now if your were with me O you
were the best of all my days
