afterthoughts? here are a few

I can't play the "what if?" game with myself.
I'll lose every time.
My imagination is stronger than my morale.

So is this chapter VIII?
I don't think it is. For once, a major change has happened
That doesn't require me to change the way things are going.
Instead, it's pushing me in the same direction. And you and I both know it's a good one.

There won't even be a shift in tone.
Just a change in the details of status.
The status quo remains;
Hopefully the Song Remains the Same as well.

It's been a while. There will be more thoughts to come, some old and some new. And some wonderful.
The point remains that the clouds still sail across the sky,
The tides still rise and fall,
And the lives of six billion people (sans about fifteen) remain untouched by the current changes in status.
As much as I'd like to get completely caught up in my own disappointment,
My own feelings,
I can't in good conscience say that I should.
(though I probably will to some degree, regardless)
