In the Lee of a Stunted Pine

October 21, 2004

I notice everyone else's blog has a mysterious, more or less eye-catching title, serving the dual purpose of making it ridiculously difficult to figure out who's writing it, and making people (in the case of the more eye-catching title as opposed to the less) actually want to read it. I got to wondering: ought I to have a mysterious, eye-catching title?

Partly because I happened to be listening to Ramble On at the time I had this thought, and was filled with that epic sensibility of ancient winds across lost plateaus where wanderers build fires and sing of the verges of dark, and partly because of the lonely, icebound pine in the col between Wildcat and Carter I'm using as the navigation image for this page, I came up with the title of this post as a possibility.

What think you?
