Yet another farewell, good grief!

Here's a short tale for you as related by Bennett Cerf talking about Russel Crouse and his bent, funny nay punny mind.

"…A Crouse creation of which he was particularly fond (he said he wrote it on a ride to Punsylvania ) involved the Sunday-evening opening of a Broadway play starring that glamorous queen of the "silents," Gloria Swanson. While the star was frugally proceeding to the theatre by subway, however, the system broke down, and Miss S was stranded three miles north of Times Square, necessitating a postponement of the premiere to the following evening.

The name of this poignant tale, naturally, was "Sick Transit Gloria Monday."

I read that DesiPundit is shutting down.

I never knew there was a group blog called DesiPundit, not until they linked to my musing if character flaws and shortcomings are sins. I discovered through my site tracker that many of my visitors that week arrived from DesiPundit. Then I discovered that they set out to make blog-hopping easier for Indian readers, and they did accomplish that. I am a newcomer to blogging and they pointed me to some lovely blogs.

I read their reasons, I understand. Now they are closing shop. Others have said goodbye in their fashion. As I said to Neha, thanks for being there, DP.

Ah, well. Cerf also tells me that an eccentric bachelor passed away and left a nephew nothing but 392 clocks. The nephew now is busy winding up the estate.

Cheers!
