“Scoundrels are always sociable.” – Arthur Schopenhauer

Schopenhauer insisted that reason alone would not explain the human reality.  He added passion and instinct to the neatly circumscribed world of the Enlightenment.  As he did so, he became profoundly pessimistic about the overall human condition.  He did, however, add a bit of solace to the world of us introverts in the quote.

Cool today so I’m headed outside to continue transplanting daylilies.  I’m also going to plant vegetables since the near term forecast doesn’t have anything remotely approaching 32 at night.  Generally, if we can make it past May 15th, we’re in good shape for the growing season.

Too nice to stay in and write.  Out I go.
