Back on track

Okay, I'm falling behind. I have many posts to write. I, like my
friend Jacob, have a to-do list, though mine is not quite the same.
Let's do a comparison:

Jacob's list: Account for all suffering

Jonathan's list: Tell the world how Jill gave birth to herself

Jacob: Calculate the probability of God's existence

Jonathan: Tell an embarassing story about taking off my clothes

Jacob: Come as close to a complete consistent set of beliefs as possible

Jonathan: Write a coded message about Harry Potter

So I discovered a secret fertility dance. It involves a lot of arm
swinging, and suprirsisingly, a fair amount of snaping. It looks
and sounds a little like birthing a child and is intended to take
advantage of the blessings that come from life of symetry. If the
dance is performed 9 months before conception of a child it greatly
increases fertility.

As you have probably already guessed, Jill performed the secret fertility
dance nine months before her own conception, but performed it so long
that in the end she gave birth to herself. That’s why Jill is so small. Not
that being small is that significant part of who Jill is, but it is fun to talk
about.

I will really miss you Jill. I will continue to think of you and be excited
about life and all its often unnoticed intricacies and complexities and
simplicities.
