Good News and Bad News
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
— T. S. Eliot, beginning of
Four Quartets
Groundhog Day
is over.
Today is
American Pie Day.
And there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
— American Pie, by Don McLean
Addendum of 8:08 PM February 5, 2003:
Appropriate music for this entry,
other than McLean himself,
might be “Orpheus and the Gig from Hell”
on RealAudio at The Walker1812 Files.
