APRIL FOOLS' DAY - 2011

Following my heart attack and now that I am back at work writing, which for me seems now to be as breathing, after gasping for air in my mind to voice all those things I had never said and might never say, unless I became more serious about the writing rather than just the thinking of those thoughts, I have decided to try to set forth more than at the first, making use of both the well studied as well as the more spontaneous opportunity of this blog. So whether or not the page is filled it shall yet be there to return to and pursue to an eventual conclusion, as the "miles to go before I sleep".

So what now shall we conclude about April Fools' Day, beyond the fact the correctly placed apostrophe persuades us there are more than one of kith and kin, and "misery loving company" is well assuaged of all common solace, that "there is no temptation nor sin which has overtaken us, but that which is common to man", and at tmes unto even better men than we ourselves vainly profess to be. What can history find here, beyond the limitations of our blindly accepted tradition, that all these celebrations into which we were born unawares by the entitlements of camaraderie always were and always will be both extant, profligate, and continuous in their regularly ransomed perpetuity, both then and now, as if Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, on every new forboding of opportunity was once more springing full grown from the head of Zeus, as a split decision, so even the "double-minded" god is unstable in all "our" ways?
