Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

George Eliot (pen name of Mary Ann Evans), novelist (1819-1880)

 An autobiography usually reveals nothing bad about its writer except his memory.

Franklin P. Jones

 This Website is what is called in Internet Nerd Argot, "A Vanity Site" (AKA a BLOGish sort of thing, I think.) there is little profound or even particularly interesting here unless you  know me or my family. So if you are just surfing, and you found this site by accident, move on... you will be bored stiff.

...but, since you have read this far,

Welcome!! 

Understand that this is a real journal... a real person's thoughts, feelings, and experiences from day to day. This isn't fiction. Yes, there is some "I made three trips to the store today to get Milk" stuff but there is more, my life, thoughts and feelings are laid bare here. There are links to all sorts of things... mostly my own ruminations but some from others that I find interesting.

  Last but not least, if you love what you read, or hate it, or if you know me and I said something you have deemed to be unflattering about you in an entry and you want to "meet me in the alley", please don't hesitate to e-mail me at padagge@potc.net I hate criticism, but I need to grow in that regard, I can deal with it as long as you're honest.

(The words above were paraphrased (stolen) from Felicia Somebody hopefully someday she will write to me and I will get her surname)

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.

SIR WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL,  (1874-1975, British Prime Minister) {Roving Commission: My Early Life, 1930}

*Stolen from Sherry L Spence (slspence spiritone.com)

"My first real job out of grad school was for a west coast think tank. To celebrate my promotion to a research job, I began posting pithy quotations and witty comments on the bulletin board above my desk, having nothing better to place there. I labeled the bulletin board, "Omphaloskepticon", because it was, of course, a navel observatory."

 Introspection, From:

omphaloskepsis (om-fuh-lo-SKEP-sis) noun

Contemplation of one's navel.

[From Greek omphalos (navel) + skepsis (act of looking, examination). Ultimately from the Indo-European root spek- (to observe) which is also the ancestor of suspect, spectrum, bishop (literally, overseer), despise, espionage, telescope, spectator, and spectacles.]
