(As in: “My goodness! Where did theirs go?”) KURT VONNEGUT ONCE OBSERVED, “FOR SOME reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes. But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course that’s Moses, not Jesus.

First, is it wrong to be unenthusiastic about side projects at this point? I just want to stop juggling things around. Pandora Squared* looked like a good place to be even if I could only agree to a part time arrangement, but I couldn’t stand the thought of adding another job just because the opportunity looked good.
