Dear gentle reader: this blog has been operating continuously since I was a teenager.
The writing below is at least a decade old.
In that time every molecule of my body has been replaced, along with many foolish
ideas and flighty beliefs. I want to keep some of those things public out of an honesty
and humility I owe the world. I trust you to carry that context with you.
It occurred to me yesterday that my 2003 entry about an imaginary Magic Eye summarizes my feelings on modern artistic and literary criticism, in both positive and negative ways.
Everything it doesn’t summarize, of course, is ably expressed by Modern Humor Authority.
