Holy Mackerel, My Brothers and Sisters, This is the Cat's Meow

You have just pushed Ithaka over 999K so there's no countdown after this one on the way to Win a Million.  It will almost certainly happen before this time tomorrow and that will do it for any further blather from me about winning the brass ring on the carousel.

Zen Yogi:  now people will know what to do tomorrow since they can plan their days around the celebration

It's a helpful public service I offer, Yogi.  I'm not aware of an actual celebration, tho.  Maybe the sheer ecstasy of the moment will lift people everywhere to break into spontaneous and rapturous dance.

Zen Yogi:  I'm glad you had two such goals, Silas

Why is that, Yogi?

Zen Yogi:  so the other one had a chance of coming true


Zen Yogi:  you really are jazzed about it, aren't you?

Sure I am, mate, and especially now.  I've written previously about it in being five years in coming.

Zen Yogi:  what comes after?

One thing I can tell you doesn't come after is any more of the heave ho, mates, let's take her rest of the way home.  That's about as much promo as I can really stand actively doing anyway but it was gloriously shameless while it lasted.


Now I can complete the turnover of Ithaka to Seraphin with a little extra zing since it's coming with a million miles of scarcely imaginable vision from all the thoughts of those who read it.

Zen Yogi:  you pile Seraphin with ugly lead weights in responsibility!

Life piles responsibility, mate, and it's our trick is to make interesting.

Zen Yogi:  you're heading for Deep Thoughts again, Silas

How about this, my furry buddy, as I'm tickled that it seems I did make it interesting.

Zen Yogi:  there still needs to be some kind of ceremony and we already know you don't like marching bands

A band might be too much ...

Zen Yogi:  too much of a muchness?

Of course.


This is more than just splish splash for Seraphin since the view which counts is the respect for the readers.  Mine has (cough) not always been what it might have been but it has risen out-a-sight from the beginnings and Ithaka does progressively better the more it focuses on the Big Dreams which are possible through the latest technology or via whatever path.

Opposition may come from someone such as a current hip hop singer who is determined to prove the Earth is flat.  Engaging in farcical exchanges of that nature won't elevate your vibe by showing his head is full of Bubble Yum gum.  Note:  it's true about that singer and the beauty part is he wants to launch some satellites to prove it.

The focus on the readers is vital to show respect and my appreciation of that has grown steadily.  This one really must come down as a firm advisory from the chalkboard of Mister Chips, Seraphin.

At the bottom of this is thanks to the readers for showing the response you have since it entirely fulfills that which is otherwise cliche in saying I could not have done it without you.  Absent an audience, I'm some old crank in a park who gives speeches to pigeons and even they won't stay unless I feed them.

Many thanks to all of you.
