absent
No, this time I had a reason. For the past 12 days, I was a Carioca. Now back to semi-blogging.

a difference
Been thinking about the expression “…as different as night and day…” today. I realized that night and day are really not as different as you would imagine. They are both times of day! Opposites, it turns out, are quite similiar. Hot and cold are both temperatures. Wet and dry both describe levels of moisture. Positive and negative are both types of charge.
In light of this, instead of “as different as night and day”, it seems that a more appropriate expression would be: “oh, they’re as different as barbeque sauce and the Categorical Imperative”.
