Aphorisms and Accidents

Due to the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of my hosting company, this website disappeared for roughly 24 hours last month. It is now mostly recovered, but all comments received before about Dec. 19 2008 seem to be permanently lost. There is, of course, an aphorism for this kind of thing: Shit happens. If you spot something missing on the site, please let me know. Thank you and happy 2009!

    Accidents are built into the road.

    We never know quite what we’ve lost, until we can’t quite find it again.

    One never loses anything except the past.

    It’s easier to lose than to find. (said once a five-year-old grandson of a friend of mine)
