"SOCRATES (loftily): Mortal, what do you want with me?STREPSIADES: First, what are you doing up there? Tell me, I beseech you.
SOCRATES (Pompously): I am traversing the air and contemplating the sun."
- Aristophanes, The Clouds
I’m traversing the air to NYC where I might join in the demonstration and get my protest on. Then, I’m off to Detroit where I will contemplate nothing more complex than a good book and some good coffee, and maybe a political demonstration about local school board politics.
Then, I’ll traverse the air back to California and contemplate sewing with a twin needle. Neither pompous nor lofty. Just fun.
