`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves / Did gyre and gimble in the wabe / All mimsy were the borogoves / And the mome raths outgrabe… —Which, luckily, a hot shower and a bit of creative blowdrying returned the pocket Jabberwocky to its former prominence.  Quite a relief, too.  Because let me tell you—few things are more humbling than a gathering of blown snow that has worked its way down

Rago, Rago, Rago [Dan Collins]

that’s all I ever do.  Why can’t I just let it go? I don’t know.  Maybe because I think it’s funny. Anyway, Sparks from the Anvil has some thoughts on our ”Youthful Curmudgeon” (which rhymes nicely with “bludgeon” and “dudgeon,” in case you wish to get limericky about it.  These thoughts seem largely to consist in a reposting of Dean Barnett’s piece from Hewitt’s site.  Joe says he’s a “good
