"From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines, going where I list, my own master total and absolute, Listening to others, considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me."
Walt Whitman (1819-92)

Blogger Idol Top Picks Season 2 Week 1
Here's this blog's picks for this week's Blogger Idol entries:
Andes Blog had about the best idea I have seen on what to buy for Christmas.
Blondzila at Sanity Optional entered a post expressing desire to give to her husband, so that he could recapture a season that has become almost closed to him. Very selfless, very cool.
Lake Neuron's Bait Shop (you gotta love that name) asked a question I never thought about..."Where's the gold?"
Jess at She is Leaving has an entry that, to me, highlights what we feel when the season, which is always presented (no pun intended) to us as everything right and at peace, isn't.
Just for the record, I liked most of the entries. These are the ones I liked the most.
