It could be said that some (Most. All?) of the notions in this blog reflect nothing so much as idle flummery. The author, an acquaintance of mine, would be the first to admit (with an appropriate degree of humility) that his head is stuffed full of such flummery. The notions contained within are the types of things that clutter a confined space. The transcription of these notions is an attempt to order his cerebral Jell-O. Any inconsistencies are due to the cloud that surrounds his cephalic-peanut. The author apologizes to the gentle reader who finds his notions supercilious; however, he would also like to point out that in his humble opinion the world could be, and indeed would be, a better place if his flummery danced freely about the streets (well, I suppose there is no accounting for taste).
