Ummm, okay. We have a misunderstanding, here. And I guess I can see why.

Mea culpa, folks.

The photo in the previous entry is not what I have been seeking on the internet for over seven years. Sorry.

That is a shot I took last Saturday. Some of you may recognize the tree, 'cause I know I've posted at least one other photo of it before. Although I can't find it anywhere in the past two years, so it's gotta be farther back than that.

But I sometimes feel like I'm cheating when all I do is post a photo. I mean, if I'm posting these entries for you folks, well, there are a lot of better photographs you can look at every day on any of the standard photo sites.

Presumably you come here because you want a little more. A story to go with the images.

And if I'm posting these journal entries for myself, well, then, I'm really cheating, because I already have all these photos on my hard drive. Can (and do) look back at them any time I want. When I go back and look at past entries (which I do), it is only the words that remind me what I did, and why I wanted to remember.

So, rather than posting just that golden photo of a tree, I decided to add a brief snippet about one of the more exciting moments of my weekend.

Well, "more exciting" may not be accurate. You should have seen my Sunday morning... but that hasn't been written yet.

So aaanyway, on the previous entry...

Hil, I am sooo tempted to not make any mention of this misunderstanding, because I would love to have you think I live up to your compliment.

But I don't.

My objective and motivation for wandering in an un-aimless manner through the internet is neither gentlemanly nor inspiring. It is pretty much just nosy and, as one once said, obsessive.

I accept that. Still enjoy it, and so long as I keep it to myself (and, on occasion, the wife), no harm done.

Now, the "scholar" label? I like that one. We'll hope that it fits.

And the fourth descriptor you used?

That fits, no worries.
