I'm on!!

This is my 1st time on here!!

For Macrina





Because she thinks

Note the low, low price! Get copies for everyone in your family!
(Can you tell I'm excited!)
For those of you who might not remember the New Bohemians, "Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box" (and "religion" is similarly defined as "the smile on a dog").

Undignified.



"Where's the Muskrat?" Moominmamma suddenly asked in a horrified voice.

"He wouldn't come," answered Moominpappa. "He said it was unnecessary and undignified for a philosopher to rush about like this. I had to leave him, but I let him keep the hammock."

"Oh, well," sighed Moominmamma. "It's difficult to understand philosophers."

-from Comet in Moominland, by Tove Jansson, trans Elizabeth Portch.

Undiginified indeed.... I never let anything like that stop me.
