On a whim, about a month or so ago, I installed the WP Wall plugin and widget. The widget sits in the right sidebar over there. From the plugin author’s site, WP Wall provides this:

Readers can add a quick comment about the blog as a whole, and the comment will appear in the sidebar immediately (without reloading the page).

There’s a “Guestbook” page tab up top there; the guestbook collects all the Wall writings. And today, the Wall got its first writing, from family friend and all-round good guy James, who asked a question for the ages:

“What the hell is this? ”

I’m sure James’ question is applicable to many things in the world today, and I’m equally sure I have no good answers. In the context in which it was asked, I hope I’ve served to enlighten.
