10/21/2003 Entry: "Nobel Bop and Rime"

Whodathunkit?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the romantic poet who wrote Rime of the Ancient Mariner and inspiration for Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, along with Alfred Nobel, father of both mass destruction and the modern Peace movement, along with Dizzy Gillespie, father of bebop, all share the same birthday. I defy any horoscopist to find a thread there.

And I defy myself to lay off the almanac Schtick for a while. The semester has begun, and these entries should be once again a little less sporadic and a tad more pertinent.

Summer's over, fritters.
