I am wrestling with a book that’s proving more difficult to write than I

thought, & so am falling behind on NRO postings. With the editrix’s

permission, and with blithe disregard for the laws of copyright, I am going

to fill in from time to time by just putting up a link to some non-NRO piece

from my archives, so that my name might live for ever on the lips of men.

Here I am writing about knots. Yep, knots.
