Muse to the Rescue
Greek mythology. If you went to high school, you know about all those ancient Greeks and their gods and goddesses. They had one for everything. Should something new come up that they had no god/goddess for, just get a couple of them together in a procreative way and, BOOM, you got tailor-made divinity (the Mount Olympus kind, not the candy).
Case in point: Zeus, king of the gods, and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory. Some of the arts needed a little regal backup, so out pops — not one, not two, but — NINE little misses… uh, muses. Here, count ’em for yourself: Calliope, Clio, Erato, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia, and Urania. For your own safety, just count them, don’t try to pronounce them. In order of appearance, their specialties are: epic poetry, history, love poetry, lyric poetry, tragedy, sacred song, dance, comedy, and astronomy. Hmmm. Star gazing is one of the arts? Maybe Urania was the one disappointment in the litter. Hey, it can happen in any family.
Quit looking around on those navigation charts, and pay attention here. You were warned about my lack of navigation skills and a tendency to digress in my first two posts not more than a month ago. You’ve already booked passage, so suck it up, me bucko!
Situation here is I’ve run aground just short of Inspiration Point, and, I thought maybe one of those divine chicks might put a big boot in my, uh, CPU and get me on course. Three of those girls are into poetry, one is a dancer, and yet another is a gospel singer; I’m just not feeling it. Since I’m stuck in NOW, the history major won’t work, either. Tragedy? Now, there you got your big downer, and I’m already at a low point. Comedy is a frame of mind, and we previously established that I don’t have that… the frame part. Star gazing involves all those charts, and, we don’t really want to go there, do we? 0 for 9. Now what? A lot more work for SID (i.e., Ship’s Inane Digressor)?
Next: We will get through this.
Regards for sharing the information with us.

After I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the exact same comment. There has to be a means you can remove me from that service? Kudos!
