First off, why all the accolades for Thoreau but not for Emerson, whose writing I find far more palatable?
And second, I do not favor one-note tweeting, FB updates, & blog posts. As much I love to whine and complain, I'd hate to think that this blog is occupied solely by it. I mean, once in a while, I share some triumphant moment of exuberance, right? Like actual genuine ones, not those of the happy-happy-joy-joy variety!
Reverberations of incessant complaining are understandably annoying, but, to be frank, so is a constant barrage of uplifting, inspirational messages. I think it's because these positive messages are usually in the form of quotes (um...yeah, I see the irony) and communicate nothing personal about the author other than the fact that (s)he is a decent typist who can transcribe a clever saying. So I suppose what I should be saying is that I prefer personal revelations, whether positive or negative, over a generic collection of other people's thoughts.
Unrelated photo of A1 perking up our tree--we usually have 3 but, this year, we simplified and picked up a real one as our only centerpiece.
And here is a shot that was buried in the archives. It's me in the side view mirror with my much loved D80. I know that I go on and on about my old D80 and the new D7000, but I'm willing to bet I'd love any camera to which I have access. Heck, I even love my iPhone camera. <--See? A genuine positive thought to break the monotony of my usual griping.
