Lent Hiatus

During the season of Lent, I will not write things on this blog, nor read anyone else's blog, nor visit any websites not related to work or school.

However:

1. If I owe you an email, I will still email you.
2. If you want to get ahold of me and don't know how to, you can use my gmail address, which, before you add the @gmail.com, is "ekastandardtime."
3. I will still add links to any articles I publish during this time to the "I Wrote This" section, which you can find on the right.

Please enjoy this choral music courtesy of the Vatican.

...one of the last things I remember my brother saying, before I fell back against the bed, was that in his opinion the greatest single moment in all of popular music was the complete bar of vocal silence near the beginning of "Good Vibrations", after Carl Wilson sings "I" but before he sings,"I love the colorful clothes she wears." My brother was weaving as he counted out the four empty beats on the carpet. "It's like..." he said, "it's like the whole universe is in that silence.
- Blood Horses, John Jeremiah Sullivan

Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.
