Gargantua  

In re this rather disappointing post in GB (disappointing because I was hoping for pictures of snowed-over gargolyes rather than just a gargolye fan site) I just wanted to point out the probably obvious -- but new to me -- relationship bewteen the words gargoyle and gargle. More at Wikipedia. Things are pressing in on me as Christmas approaches so I won't be able to satisfy the urge to go take some pictures of gargoyles at U of C tomorrow... pity.

Sorry, btw, for being so long absent. Honestly, I have been mulling giving up blogging completely, but I have yet to come to any kind of decision on it. This has been a crazy month for all kinds of reasons, and not only the blog but the whole idea of blogging has suffered as a result.
