Tempus
There's something awful, I've decided, in the mechanics of Movable Type's habit of underlining each date in the current calendar on which a blogger has added a new post. I don't know quite what Ben and Mena Trott were thinking; the only time I've ever found this feature useful was when Édouard revived Sale Bête. Otherwise, underlined calendar dates look like an achievement test. Did you miss one? Whatever its use to a visitor, this feature reminds me rather more graphically than I'd like of the cruel passage of time. I can remember - it was only days ago - when March was a largely un-underlined month. Now we're more than halfway through. April will be marvelous, but our arrival there will mean that the days I'm living through now are over.
