Wow I turned into kind of an asshole there for a while. By 2003, there was domesticity and some travel. but the site seemed to be losing some of its charm (and its audience). The same thing happened to Rhoda in the 1970s and the producers divorced her, but it didn’t help. I remained bitter and cynical as always, but much less charmingly so. That didn’t help either.

Highlights and favorite posts follow. I tried to include a couple of the obnoxious ones as well even though they make me look bad, but not too many because they make my brain hurt.

I’m almost caught up from my vacation break and so I can return to one year a day soon The anniversary happens on 13 January.

In 2004, the trend toward daily updates with no substantial essays continued, making the site more of a journal than a reflective space. Thus it’s harder to pick “highlights” as such and the ones I chose don’t really show what was on my mind quite so well as in earlier years. Anyway, here are the ones I chose, such as they are.
