I've been browsing the long list of GROUPS, but I'm not inclined to join any of them, cold. By "cold" I mean unless I get invited to join, which would be a cool thing in itself. I just don't consider myself enough of an authority on any of the listed subjects to feel like I have something to contribute. I suppose I could pick one that I'm curious about and just start asking n00b questions. Like, I still don't know how to insert an image file, here or on the boards, so I couldn't post pics of my dog and cat in the PETS group, even if I wanted to.

Anyway, I've noticed that a lot of people have some kind of regular "feature" in their journals, like they'll ask questions to elicit comments, or perhaps a line or two of poetry, or song lyrics--so I've decided that starting today I'm going to post a different Robertson Davies quote every time I update my journal . . . until I run out of Robertson Davies quotes. So here goes:

"By 'imagination' I mean capacity to see all sides of a subject and weigh all possibilities; I don't mean fantasy and poetry and moonshine; imagination is a good horse to carry you over the ground, not a flying carpet to set you free from probability."
