Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

The Existential Anguish Of The Tattoo

"Tattoos are permanent, even when little else is.  As your ink settles (and stretches) into middle age, it brings terrifying implications about free will.  Our past and present selves are not always in accord.  You're not the same person you were when you got that dolphin."
