My post on the Massachusetts pregnancy pact has generated more debate than anything I have written in years.

This has been a busy day

And unusually, the busy-ness has been due largely to Livejournal. My posts on the Gloucester, Mass, pregnancy pact, have generated a huge response, and I expect a bit more still.

ON the whole, it has been pleasant; but more tiring than anyone - including myself - could imagine. At the same time as the debate was starting, and quite independently from it, I suffered a relapse from a very occasional condition in my intestine, that tends to make weaker and sleepier than usual. I spent a good deal of today dozing off, and I am now quite exhausted. I will probably return to the matter, because there are things said by various people which require comment and expansion; but at present, I just want to say that I am having a wonderfully pleasant evening just re-reading the late Mark Gruenwald's classic Captain America Run of the eighties and early nineties, a brilliant and neglected piece of comics writing. It's like relaxing with a comfortable old blanket.
