A foggy blog, a bloggy fog

Another uncertain start to a day, but by the end of it, good exercise, contact with friends and family, and good deeds all round.
I am so tired, but I'm well into Ishmael's examination of the pathology of Captain Ahab's obsession with Moby Dick, and must needs sail forth to read more. One bit of information I picked up, maybe in the introduction or possibly in the explanatory notes in the back, was that the tale of Moby Dick may have been partly inspired by stories about an actual whale known as Mocha Dick. Mocha Dick - the biggest, the heartiest coffee-based beverage on the menu! With a pile o' whipped cream on top like a whale's spout, a fountain of spume!
Er, all right, off to heave- ho into bed.
