Brain Delay

Ever get the feeling you've nothing left to say? And don't feel like saying it? I do, once or twice a year. That's when I give up blogging once and for all, like in the fall of 2005, two months after starting the blog. If a man can't say all he has to say in two months, then--

Wordiness is not an excess of words, but a dearth of ideas.

The deluded are prolix.

In each post I try to present ideas as concisely as possible. It just looks prolix, because there are 5,300 posts. Still, it would be nice to boil it all down to a series of aphorisms, maybe even numbered, so one can ascend stepwise from one truth to the next. Let me think about how to do that and get back to you....

Yes, I know that feeling. Sometimes pure inactive Slack is in order.

Good Doctor, you are on the South Col in striking range of the summit. This is no time to summarize; call forth your Sherpa. It is time to bring in the final topic: love. Your treatise on love is needed to cap your prolix blog career. That is Trench opining. Loose bots sink...pots?
