I spent Saturday icefishing with John Keats.
Here is what he said...
"She dwells with Beauty-Beauty that must die;
And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips
Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh,
Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips:
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veiled Melancholy has her sovran shrine,
Though seen of none save him whose strenuous
tongue
Can burst Joy's grape against his palate fine:
His soul shall taste the sadness of her might,
And be among her cloudy trophies hung.
-John Keats- 3rd stanza of "ODE ON MELANCHOLY"
The image of a trophy room full of people hanging on the wall was not lost to this hunter. I am resolved to make melancholy breathless in the chase, and ultimately leave her skunked.

You scallywag!
You never out and out told me that you had a blog...
I put two and two together today when you were talking about how much you enjoy reading other people's blogs.
It was then that I realized that it must be true.
From my limited pale of experience, there are only three types of people that relgiously read blogs: reporters, political junkies and people who write blogs.
I actually stumbled upon your site as a result of perusing the links that are on doxasky's weblinks section. I said to myself "Is this the same Scott that I know?" and the answer is "Yup".
I hereby recognize you as a member of the blogging community of FGBC. (Kind of like the U.N. acknowledging the land claims of Israel.)
Welcome to the party!
so your captain kirk pauses on "ding's" comments - ya I pretty much laughed extremely hard...lol.
kept up the bloggin' thoughts! Catch you around the college!
