A "strange coincidence"...
...to use a phrase,
By which such things are settled nowadays."
— Lord Byron
There is always room for coincidences...
— Alva Noto
"We know that attention acts as a lightning rod. Merely by concentrating on something one causes endless analogies to collect around it, even penetrate the boundaries of the subject itself: an experience that we call coincidence, serendipity – the terminology is extensive. My experience has been that in these circular travels what is really significant surrounds a central absence, an absence that, paradoxically, is the text being written or to be written."
— Julio Cortázar (Around the Day in Eighty Worlds)

Ageing - Misbehaving
Today is my 29th birthday, so the drinks are on me tonight.
Bartender: I would love a celebratory chocolate martini if it's not too much trouble, but the yin/yang aspect is optional.

Out of Time
I have just been informed that a locket and a Victorian pocketwatch, just like that of the White Rabbit's in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, has mysteriously turned up at Lost and Found.
For some reason, the people there, believe that it might belong to Richard, aka jazzolog, aka The Good Doctor, aka The Gentleman from Ohio.
The problem is that no one knows where Richard is to be found. Some of you have been asking about him, and since I have known him the longest here, with the exception of his good friend Quinty, I feel that it comes to me, out of a sense of duty and the respect due my old friend, to try to reassure people and say a few words as to his whereabouts. Unfortunately there is not much that I can say. As some of you might know, I do come and go a lot, and I do not stop here as often as I used to. The truth is that I haven't been much in touch with Richard of late. Like some of his good buddies here at The Wulfshead, I can only hope that he is well.
One rumor has it that Richard's absence has to do with Lent, a time of penance and a penitential frame of mind, and that our good friend has temporarily given up blogging and all related activity for the season. Lent technically ends on Holy Thursday, the final days of preparation before Easter. By that reckoning, there are those who believe that, just like the Easter Bunny, Richard will make a much awaited reappearance on Sunday, April 12th.
But then again, a part of me is concerned that he might have fallen into some dark hole... And Oh dear! Oh dear! He doesn't have his watch with him.
