    by , 02-25-2007 at 08:25 AM (A Ramble through Smilie Land)
    Theyve started the old argument up again who is the greatest living engllish writer? But I always thing greatness is subject tive isnt it especially about somthing like art so How do you define greatness, on sales, on literty value, and who is to say what has literay value and who doesnt? On uniqness, or creativity on LOL factor?? On how many theve churned out?

    Its rather hard .

  2. Courtship Days

    Having survived the first (and only official date prior to the wedding about 6 months down the road) I arrive at the office the next morning to get input from my clerk and confidante Joyce. I admit to being flustered by this very quiet but seemingly husband hungry predator who discusses having babies and looking at wedding rings like it's a perfectly normal pasttime communing with strange NCOs who (secretly) is wife hunting himself. What's going on?!!

    To my chargrin Joyce has absolutely ...

    Well, just kicking back in Anchorage now. I flew in yesterday and stopped by the office. Got to hang out with some fellow North Slope workers. Its the winter festival weekend here in Anchorage (named Rendesvous Redux). Watched the dogsled race through downtown, and now just kicking back. The hotel room is frigid, so I have the sunlamp and hairdryer going in the bathroom to warm up a bit. Also, its nice to have a warm room for a shower.

    Started reading Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's ...

  5. My Wishes

    I’ve been trying to think of all the things that I want to write about, and it only seems to lead me to all the things I want to wish for, so I’m going write about my wishes. I’ll start with material wishes, just to get them out of the way, and hope that I get tired of writing before any really embarrassing emotional or spiritual type wishes fall out in the open. I wish I had a 1964 Lincoln Continental with suicide doors and a 460ci engine that will do 100 miles an hour without even feeling the ...
