I hadn't thought about it specifically in terms of humanism, but of course it's an excellent overlay for that. Ultimately, anyone who wants to be a better person could make use of this. We talk much about fragmentation—of societies, consciousness, audiences—and for good reason. It seems a pervasive current. But I try to remind myself that there are always people moving toward unity and integrity, both for themselves and for the human race.

Kind of a high-class self-help list, of the sort that was so popular in the Renaissance. It's the core of humanism, isn't it? No one following this list could strap on an explosive vest or open the bomb bay doors of the Enola Gay. Thanks to you and Gelb for the timely reminder!

Sadly, 'tis all gone now. I am thinking I'll brew some more next month, which should make it available by Valentine's Day.

The kitchen beckons and it seems like a great way to spend the day.

many moons ago. It was some of the best dark beer I'd ever
had, and I wasn't much of a beer drinker back then as I didn't go
for your standard light ales. Will have to give it a go again...

and like cooking up a storm on those days. Made banana bread, granola,
potato leek soup, and fried chicken that day. i was in my element and having
such fun in the kitchen. Stayed in my p.j.'s as it was one of those days... :o)

I like what you had to say here. Didn't realize you had started your
day saying goodbye to your cat. I think doing so perhaps brought
an added sensitivity to your readings that night, which were heartfelt
and insightful. Thank you for putting it out there and I look forward
to hearing more from you. A beautiful gift indeed...
