You think I put these links up here for you?

Sure I do. I'm here to make you happy, Dear Reader.

But I also refer back to the OD archives quite often while writing, looking for that turn of phrase I read online, or for little quirky things that amused me three weeks ago to spark the engines of creation. Yet sometimes I see things I want to remember and forget to post them. And then I have to spend an hour re-reading the day's web traffic to find it again. But damned if I didn't retrack my way (via the page of Angela Gunn*) to today's William Safire editorial in the NYT. I leave you to wonder why I had to rediscover it. Your answer is probably more amusing than the truth. Besides, there's writing to be done.

* who still makes me wish I spent a little more time on this page so I could appear more erudite and less like a web filter's idiot nephew
