Taken together these two explain a lot.
As many of you know I am a reader. Among the many ways you can divide our species I believe readers and non-readers is among the most significant. As I have written here before if what you are is what you actually do as opposed to what you like to believe you are, I am a sleeper, as are all of us who spend roughly a third of our butterfly’s cough of consciousness sleeping, and then I am a reader. I have spent more time sailing than all but a few men, but I have read more than I have sailed and still do. I read for the pleasure I find in skillfully combined words, but I also read to learn, even now as an old and extremely experienced and read man.
I have often felt for other reasons that I am an anachronism. I never considered that I would be one because I read or that as a writer I have become as obsolete as a lamplighter.

Anonymous: I have seen your comment and will respond probably in a journal entry because others may be interested. However, to respond fully would take a book. You ask a lot. I have already written about all you ask, but not in one place and it may be a while before I have time to answer you. I have just returned home and am engaged in other writing. So continue to check the journal.
Anonymous: I just posted my reply to you in the journal. https://self-portraitinthepresentseajournal.blogspot.com/2025/09/hilton-head-island-from-past-reply-to.html
