What is interesting to me? TypePad, the Blogging Platform offers a Quick Compose feature that asks me to share with others "what is interesting to me"–the matter presented like an invitation to make a grocery list. What is as interesting as a grocery list? That the first hot air balloonists thought of themselves as intellectuals; imagined they would experience something of the majesty of God by rising; that they saw the world of humankind as a labyrinthine prison. That is interesting. Measurements in geometry are interesting. The sturbborn wind, knuckles, thumb and forefinger, cathedrals, green frogs–are interesting.
