Ithaka Practically Hits Five Hundred and the Sun Isn't Even Up Yet

Prediction of the demise of Mark Twain or Ithaka turned out be just a wee bit exaggerated but that shows the value of fortune telling (i.e. there is no value in fortune telling).

(Ed:  was that a shot at the media?)

You've got the ball, Maverick.

Ithaka:  Ithaka Will Likely Tank After Today


Unknown who could possibly be coming when Americans would likely throw me with cheer into a tank of sharks with a bucket of blood and a festive wish of 'have a nice day' but it's not likely you're Euros since they've mostly been asleep.  That leaves Australia or Japan ... and a bit of a mystery.  It's not one I will try to resolve since there would be no way I could even if it were my intention.

That leaves the option maybe there are some Americans who really do have love in their hearts and I only came up with about six yesterday but apparently there are more.

(Ed:  are you really that cynical?)

Check out this one and find out it's not cynicism but reality.  (Ithaka:  VA Just Canceled My Appt for Today - Updated)

(Ed:  you bitter bitch!)

Perhaps so but there's still more love in my heart than you might find in a basket of puppies.


There's no intention to revisit that theme since the only thing substantive which came out of the day was the determination I won't hate them back.  Demanding my heart hate anything except flies and biting insects imposes a burden on me to carry that hatred which can only weaken my own heart rather than damage that of anyone else.

My preference is to look for better than that in "The Girl Who Smiles with Her Eyes."  (Ithaka)

(Ed:  you really don't get tired of plugging yourself do you?)

That's not the point as the stories don't focus on me and my actual purpose is CNNing the results in What's Hot.

(Ed:  twisting the results through hyping the things you like?)

I knew I could count on you, Maverick.  Sorry about Goose.

(Ed:  how could you possibly have ever attended university ... or done anything else when you watched all these movies?)

Well, I smoked a lot of ganja.  Maybe that was it.

Not to worry as I won't shift to proselytizing ganja.  That's not my purpose either.
