Casting pearls...
There doesn't seem to be much use in continuing to use a certain free online dating website. My profile or my comments may be too beta, or it may be I lack sufficient physical attractiveness. Why put so much effort into it when it is unlikely that I'll find someone "equally yoked"? Or with the same sort of moral, intellectual, and cultural education? To think that I deserve to not go on dates or have a "relationship" because of past and present sins is probably just a temptation. There are plenty who have less moral scruples who are more successful. So if some women cannot appreciate virtus, why waste any energy on them?
Today there was a short memorial service at the cemetary for Mrs. W. It was raining, but the service was short, maybe 10 minutes long. Afterwards all were invited to have dinner over at New Port. I have to say that the food there tonight was only average, which is rather surprising since the quality is usually better. (In fact I think that the restaurant tends to be one of the better ones in the area.) Carb overload...

Roussea taken to an extreme, with the noble savage replaced by the noble savage woman. He has not experienced the misandry that follows feminism taking over a society yet? How many hunter-gatherer groups could be properly said to have been matriarchies? Has he not done research into that point? He doesn't claim to be recovering that sort of ancestral fitness, but it is close. Too much reaction against "civilization" for his own good?

Overheard at a local track and field:
Boy running at the end of soccer practice: "I'm so COLD!"
Girl attending a separate soccer practice, walking in the opposite direction but near the boy: "Shut up!"
Boy: "Calm down, princess."
I don't know if the two know one another; maybe it's something typical of elementary school students, but they were both in middle school. Someone's overdue for learning some basic manners? How rude would it be to say, "Shut up," to a stranger? Girl power: aggressiveness and rudeness? Are their coaches doing them any favors by promoting team sports for girls, if it's at the expense of femininity?

The music is interesting, even if it doesn't sound Greek/Near Eastern. I don't know what the source is.
