Now, here’s a thing I normally would NOT do.  (That “not” is as emphatic as you can make it.)  But I’m going to do it, and I’m inviting you to do it with me.  I’m doing this as my 13th look (regard) at The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

Yes, I’m superstitious, and that might be part of what has presented me with a sort of “block” for a while.  That plus all the other personal-life stuff that you don’t care about.  If I do this as number 13, and nothing comes of it, then we can just go on.  But “nothing” coming of it might be just the ticket, after all.  Without nothing, there might not be anything.  (I’m thinking Heidegger, if you sort of know about that; if you don’t then never mind.)

But I am going to do it.  I expect it might hurt, but I’m going to do it anyway.  You can do it with me, but (as always) only if you want to.

I’m going to listen to it on “shuffle.”

One shuffles the cards so that the next deal will be fun.  It’s not truly random, but it might as well be from our point of view (if it’s done thoroughly).  If it’s not fun, feel free to call “misdeal.”

Are you in?
