passivity

as is unremarkably always the case, i've got several sorts of busyness asserting themselves from a few directions. right now, though, is the time for my passivity, time to take some things in.

my friends the claycombs squared themselves. now they are four.

my friends the rhodys will increase their number by one before long.

my friend brian is driving across the country, committed to a vastly appropriate homecoming. a west-coast soul has completed his east-coast moment, so he's driving from d.c. to seattle. given his checking-in phone call yesterday, i'd imagine he's somewhere in extreme western nebraska now, aiming for slc, utah.

i only know to say that bri has been part of our days for five or six years now and that, while a signficant absence has just taken root here, it's unimaginably good to see someone able to do what he should.

so it's good to watch for a while. the stagnant research, the uncorrected drafts, the questions about subjectivity in (and outside) blogs. all of it has to wait awhile.
