An unintended absence, some tunes, and a big piece of news

Taking over a month off from blogging here was never part of the plan. It simply happened because the activities of the day precluded writing anything. Not that I didn't want to write anything, or that there wasn't anything to write about, there was no time to write it. Or there wasn't time enough to write it well. So it goes.

As I type this, it's the evening of Easter Sunday. Sanulrim's (산울림 ) rocking  3rd LP has concluded and I'm wondering which song of theirs to play again. I played all their first three albums today and have been deliberating on which of them is the best. But I digress--Sanulrim and other K-rock will grace a future post. I brought them up because every post here should have something of use to the world, and goodness knows that my saying "Yeah, life's busy" is too prosaic to go up here by itself. So there's that.

Sanulrim's grooving music also keeps me from thinking too much about the recent Jeju ferry disaster and the high school students who drowned. Those kids are in my thoughts. The poor souls, they were undoubtedly on their way to great things.
