I'm Just A Cloud Watching The Moon Rise
It pleases me that I am not so far removed that I am unable to stand with my face tilted towards the sky and bask in the awe-inspiring glow of the waxing moon.

The Pros Totally Outweigh The Cons
The only downsides I've found to getting mounds of free books from Paperbackswap are not knowing which one to start first, wanting to jump into each one as they come in, and feeling guilty about the ones I've already begun.

So Much Is At Stake
After reading my cousin's blog I am reminded that every generation strives to be better than the previous; reoccurring exclamations declaring that we will not act this way, we will make better decisions, and should we forget why we are making an effort, to look to our parents and their generation for reminders of what we have to face should we fail.

From The Latin "Speciōsus" Meaning "Good-Looking"
When I think about my plans for the future and how they might turn out, I fear that they are specious: plausible but wrong.

The estates of several dead writers are releasing the unedited versions of well known works and I cannot wait to read them.

Leave The Leaves Alone!
I am morally opposed to raking because the leaves are there for a reason: they insulate the plants during the winter, they decompose and nourish the soil, and they make me happy when I see the beautiful fall colors.

So Much For The Upstanding Morals Of The Good Old Days
