Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Monday, 2025.11.24 
Pretending that one lives in an oppressive and fearful society, and saying so
publicly, creates a sensation of courage and nobility that, in reality, is
totally missing from the lives of many of these artsy types. For some reason,
it's not enough for these people to be perceived as interesting, or witty, or
brilliant: they have this great need to be perceived as heroic as well.

What A Difference A Door Makes

Wow.

I’ve wanted a new front door for 14 years. It was always on the plan…for next year. It closed. It locked…mostly. And there was always some other priority. Usually something cancer related. So it stayed. Today, that changed. Before…

And after (but still untrimmed and unpainted)…

For the first time ever, my front hall is filled with natural light in the evening. It makes it look and feel more like a home than it has in near 4 years. Maybe there is hope yet for this house of busted dreams.
