In saying goodbye to 2005 I'd like to make a post with some sense of finality. All I can say for sure is that I still have lots to learn. For instance, that post on December 24th (my first with the "Word for Blogger" applet) which begins with the large bold font...I can't edit that. Therefore, I'm going to have to make more mistakes to figure it out. There are some things I have learned this week. First of all there are some things I'd like to post that I feel rather shy about. Michael Crichton for example has many things I'd like to link to, but that seems to be forbidden, though I have asked permission and received no response. Interestingly enough, the forbidden link was something I stumbled across at The Corner, where I also read this. Since no one reads this site I'm sure Mr. Crichton would forgive me for trying to spread his knowledge. I hereby acknowledge that is what I am trying to do. Boy, would I love to have a conversation with that man! I highly recommend State of Fear, an excerpt of which can be read here. I've put lots of links here, lets see if they post properly.
