Like most men, I know very little about flowers. (Maybe it's a Y-chromosome thing.) These are particularly attractive flowers, however, because of the correlation of colors. Because I have UV-blocking implanted eye lenses, colors shift for me, and everything moves towards the blue side of the spectrum. This makes all the violet and lavender colors deliciously cool, and yellows are less vibrant. At the same time color borders are far more vivid, and these three colors especially appealing.

Thanks for supply my new desktop.

When you're ready to write again we'll be here to read.

I may put in a hummingbird feeder. People tell me the ruby-throated species appear up here.

No authoritarians were tortured in the writing of this post.

And I'm hideously allergic to it. (sound of hoarse breathing)

Passion flowers are wonderful.

Your passion, your interests, they are what make your writing - and you - interesting. Even in these desperate times, life is about much more than politics and war and global warming.

It isn't you writing about polarizing issues that we (I) miss, it's YOU. There are all too few people in this world who are passionate, articulate, informed AND interesting. You are all of those things, and one of the few.

No one can write when they feel they have nothing to say. Write when you are ready.

Thanks for checking in.

The bad news is that these bastards will surely come up with something even worse than we've seen and heard before.

The good news is that smart, passionate people like yourself will be moved to help us make sense of it.

Dollars to dahlias they're going to pull some shit that'll itch your bloggin' fingers. If not, keep on rockin' in the real world and maybe tell us what it's like now and again.

I've disappeared myself from time to time, sometimes from ennui of the unchanging landscape and more often from totally unrelated personal stuff. Take your time, come back when you can - just so you know we miss you when you're gone and some of us even worry a little when you don't at least check in. Glad to know you're out in the garden.

Have very much enjoyed reading your postings, which were quite prolific. I wondered how you managed to do it! Hope that, after you've had some time to "decompress," you will be back!!

Thank you.

I believe I found this blog from an Eschaton comments post. I check in several times a week and feel relieved that there are others who are articulate and savvy enough to do the heavy lifting so I don't have to. I love this Blog and wish all well who post here. I look forward to when CD is up and running again.

Cheers

I can't seem to work up the energy for blogging either right now. So, like you, I've stepped back a bit for the time being. You'll be back, as big and as bad assed as ever. We'll look forward to it.

You still in the frozen Northland? Hope all is well with the family. Call when you're back in the DC area and we'll find some trouble to get into.

saw the post earlier, thought i had commented, CD.

i understand is all i wanted to say. and i wish you well. if i see you again, i'll be happy. if not, i'll be happy you are happy.

con muchas flores y cariño,

Wishing you were around. Haven't seen you in a long while....

If you change your mind about blogging....

See ya at YearlyKos2007, Chicago.
