“One way to kill a vampire is to drive a stake through its heart, then cut off its head and stuff the mouth with garlic.”
“And the reason for the decapitation and garlic dinner?”
“Because otherwise, if the stake comes out, the vampire comes back to life.”
“True, but not always. A stake made of hawthorne wood will kill a vampire, and can be removed without the vampire coming back to life.”
“Well, I never did like Hawthorne as an author, so I guess he makes a better stake.”
“Just because he's a bad author doesn't make him a bad cook.”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
