Cascading downwards

I seem to have been blessed with a large number of friends who can write deep, thoughtful commentary on a number of subjects, with fair regularity. I really admire that. I love reading their posts. I wish I were capable of it. But I'm not, and I envy them sometimes.

My posts always end being fairly shallow, chatty, hopefully amusing ... but not exactly scintillating commentary on issues of national import. Oh, well. If everybody wrote like that all the time, the world would be a boring and depressing place, huh?
