I'm heading off tomorrow to work at my employer's seminar in Arizona (!), followed by a few days of vacation in the Red Rocks country. There will probably be no further posting until Friday the 14th.
Olympus, where the abode of the gods stands firm and unmoving forever, they say, and is not shaken with winds nor spattered with rains, nor does snow pile ever there, but the shining bright air stretches cloudless away, and the white light glances upon it.
— Homer, The Odyssey, Book VI (Richmond Lattimore translation)
RARA TEMPORUM FILICITATE, UBI SENTIRE QUAE VELIS ET QUAE SENTIAS DICERE LICET
Rare is the felicity of the times, when you can think what you like and speak what you think.
Reynaldo Hahn: Quartet in G Major; Ames Piano Quartet
Dvořák: Piano Trio, op. 65; The Florestan Trio
Martina McBride: Timeless
Shostakovich: Symphony no. 4; Bernard Haitink, Chicago Symphony Orchestra
THE GOLD STANDARD
Lawrence Auster: Chronicles liberal and neo-conservative folly and offers a traditionalist conservative cure. Usually spot-on, and always exhilaratingly fearless.
Belmont Club: Whatever you think you know about geopolitics, Richard Fernandez and many of his commenters are two steps ahead of you.
Mangan's: He has seen the present, and it doesn't work. A self-styled reactionary muses and amuses.
Steve Sailer: Data-driven thoughts on human biodiversity, along with sundry other interests.
Mark Steyn: In a class of his own for the amount of wit he can pack into a single article. A programmed liberal's worst nightmare.
SPIRIT/PSYCHICAL
Society for Psychical Research: Researching the paranormal since 1882, and still pushing forward the boundaries of knowledge.

¡Buen viaje!
Gracias, Dennis. What a hoot to find myself in Tucson again, and on my employer's tab, at a resort I couldn't have afforded when I lived here.
Well, it's going to be a lot of work this week -- they didn't bring me here for my sparkling company -- but I'm stoked to be back.
Put the run on some wetbacks for us!
