This will be an occasional blog for a couple of reasons--I don't want to be tied down to writing something here daily (and do you want to have to check my blather daily?) and I honestly don't think I can sustain daily scribblings anyway. So, check back maybe weekly or less, I'll have to see how well this will work for me. Why is this blog titled as such? Well. . .

I'm not a person of high-born lineage-thus negating a tragedy based on my life following Aristotelian standards (see his Poetics , especially 8.1) I'm not pestered by demons. Some view the ghost of Old Hamlet as a demon tempting Hamlet to murder and damnation. While there are persons I don't particularly like, I don't wish them dead. Maybe just maimed. I'm not dead. I am not involved in some familial-political intrigue (though my family is certainly interesting) ...
