You have to set out the rules in the first post. I know as you know that blogs are better when they stick to a topic, like ostrich husbandry or life as a polygynist. So a brief sigh, everyone, as I toss that idea and relegate myself to mediocrity-at-best. If I get ideas about ostriches, or about ostriches with multiple partners, or opossums with multiple partners, they all go here, as long as they happen before coffee. It’s because I’m insane in the morning — I haven’t used an alarm clock for years — but I always feel the morning vigor pauses, and then slides irretrievably away, by about 10:30 a.m. So I like to think of this as my mental compost pile, It can bubble, bubble the rest of the day without me. And then I can use it as fertilizer.
