Marley was dead, to begin with

So it has come to this at last. Blogging seems to be the new wave in this family, such that in a few more years we may never have to actually speak to each other. Mind you, the fact that we hardly ever speak to each other anyway may well mean that this new trend will improve communication among us. Time will tell. However, I, squid-like, am rarely driven to spew out ink unless irritated; hence the title of this space.

So. Okay. Being a little ray of sunshine is not my biggest gift. I know what is, though: Being a nuisance. The thorn in your side. The fly in your ointment. The monkeywrench in your machinery. All with the purpose of prodding you to apply critical-thinking to your own worldview, and revise it as needed. Test all things. Throw out the ones that break.
