I'm a stray.

You know what that is, you know what that means.

You don't know, you ask.

Now you know.

If people have a position on something and you try to argue them into changing it, you're going to strengthen that position. If you want to change people's ideas, you shouldn't try to convince them intellectually. What you need to do is get them into a situation where they'll have to act on ideas, not argue about them.

There's a new feed you can sign up for via Sojourners - "Verse and Voice" - go to http://www.sojo.net and sign up for it. The verse for today?

For justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers? If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence. When I thought, "My foot is slipping," your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.

- Psalms 94:15-19

Good is good, and this is a lovely teaching tale I'll keep handy.

The Grammarian's Five Daughters.

Now, at the end, there is a dedication to Ruth Berman. THAT'S a name I haven't heard in a coon's age - I may have to drop a note of thanks just to connect up with someone who knew her.

That, the Darkover convention reference in another journal, and today I feel almost juvenile again.

More Doobies. Definitely. The CCR wank is just around the corner.
