I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

It's worth remembering that on this day in 1835 Mark Twain was born in Florida, Missouri. My favorite Twain quote is, "The worst winter I ever spent was one summer in San Francisco." But perhaps more pertinent in this day of ubiquitous talk radio is this one: "Thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but it is lightning that does the work."
