Why read this?

Good question. The answer is likely because you're a personal friend and I've forwarded you the link, and now you're stuck with reading a passage.

So...sorry about that.

Here's the trick: for those unfamiliar with reading blogs (like this author), scroll down to the bottom and start there. In the blogosphere, as in life, the bottom is the beginning. Things start off small and simple and broad, and the further up you get the more ambitious, dense and complicated they become. 

So, my dearest legion of worshippers, Danny's advice for the day is: start at the beginning and work your way to the top. There are no shortcuts in life. Well, there are, actually, but don't take them. You should always take the road less travelled, but please remember to drive slow, enjoy the sights, feel the bumps and smell the roses.
