Dum Vivimus, Vivamus: Not success, but not failure either.

Not success, but not failure either.

Back from my weekend hunting trip. Saw a few cows, and a bunch of mule deer does, and even 2 mule deer bucks, but no Bull Elk. So, from that view point, I guess the trip might have been a failure.

But...I refuse to call any trip involving views like is as a total failure...

It just means maybe I should have invested all that money in a camera instead of a rifle and a scope...

Settling in for the night to get some clothes washing, and to watch AMC's new series Walking Dead...flat out freaky so far.

"What did I want?

I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The games' afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and the Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prester John and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon.

I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be -- instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is."
-- Glory Road, Robert Heinlein

Why?
