Sermon From The Mount
“No man but a blockhead ever wrote,
except for money.”
Samuel Johnson, 1776
About.
The Russians have a phrase, писать в стол (roughly, pee-SAHT' v stohl). It means "to write for your desk drawer": writing that's never intended to be published. During the Soviet era, it described work too dangerous to print.
My version is less heroic.
I'm retired. Nobody is paying me to write this. No client will reject it. No publisher has commissioned it. No algorithm has demanded it. I have no deadline.
These pieces exist because something struck me as interesting and I wanted to chase it around for a while.
If you enjoy it too, then I’m gratified.
Stay tuned.
There's no newsletter, there are no subscriptions and, unless I become a lot less lazy, there won't be any automatic, email notifications when there's a new post.
For the moment there's no way to leave comments, either, but I'll probably get around to that before long.
I would love to hear from you, though. So if you're inclined, fill out that minimal form over on the right and click Submit.
Then we'll see what happens.
