I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so
What I have been telling you, from alpha to omega, what is the one great thing the sigil taught me — that everything in life is miraculous. For the sigil taught me that it rests within the power of each of us to awaken at will from a dragging nightmare of life made up of unimportant tasks and tedious useless little habits, to see life as it really is, and to rejoice in its exquisite wonderfulness. If the sigil were proved to be the top of a tomato-can, it would not alter that big fact, nor my fixed faith. No Harrowby, the common names we call things by do not matter — except to show how very dull we are ...

This will just be a short update. I might not update again till Monday so I want to get this one in.
Last night I picked Lena up at the airport. For those of you not paying sufficient attention Lena moved to Israel last summer. She is staying with me tonight then I'm driving her down to Northern VA tomorrow.
These plans were in Jeopardy when my Crohn's started acting up in school yesterday. I handled it very well. I sat down while teaching as much as possible. My yardstick made it easier as I could sit down and point to things that I had written. I was feeling surprisingly peppy under the circumstances.
I felt well enough to pick her up at the airport. Her plane was late and it took her forever to get her luggage and get through customs but it didn't wear on me at all. I was feeling fine other than a bit of tightness in my tummy.
She hadn't eaten so we stopped at the local diner. I had cinnamon toast. I surprised myself by eating it with an appetite. I thought I was getting off lucky. After I went to bed the Crohn's hit with full force. I was in a lot of pain but it was a minor flare-up and I felt it pass at around 6 AM. I feel fine now. I'm going to take it easy till we go out later. We are seeing Paul and Storm and Jonathan Coulton at the Cutting Room. We are doing merch for them. Lena is going through withdrawal she hasn't seen P&S in almost a year. She is actually a bigger stalker of them than I am.
Tomorrow we are stopping off in Philly to play with Rebecca on our way to Virginia. Tomorrow night we are going to the Harmony Sweeps at the Birchmere. If things work out I'll stop in Baltimore on the way home on Sunday to play with Megan. On the other hand I might just sleep a lot. We'll see. I'm not worried about the Crohn's attack not being over. I can feel it is. I'm just a bit tired.
Now hardly anybody read my last entry. You should do it now. It is funny. Well at least I think it is.
