You don't fool me, that was one of your early childhood commentaries.
Well, at least you have stuff from your childhood. My younger brother accidentally threw away all my pre-college art---including the portfolio that got me an art college scholarship---by accident when I was a freshman 25 years ago.
All I have left is a Christmas card I designed in high school, and flyer for a college student dance (which was a bad attempt at copying the style of Parliament-Funkadelic albums).
Sadly, some of my best work was ditched. Wonder if Shakespeare or Beethoven accidentally had stuff thrown away. "ACH DU LIEBER, that was the rest of my PIANO CONCERTO IN D MAJOR!!!"
I am an introverted blue collar pilgrim, surviving near the center of the continent, on the fringes of a shopworn civilization. I abide in rooms full of partially-read tomes, each bookmarked with the fragment of a shattered illusion.
Everything which is inspired, heroic or saintly is derived from contemplation.

One--the smallest of numbers... That is the infinite. A number which increases thinks that it is getting nearer to infinity. It is getting further away from it. You have to stoop to rise.

One of my favorite bits, as I suspect the real life of the historically famous was more like this

I featured "the bird" is an earlier post.
You mean the Mynah bird in the Python skit, Donald Duck, or the Trashmen's godawful fowl?

I meant the LOTR sketch. Sheesh.
