My favorite media entertainment these days is the Showtime series Dexter. Since I don’t have cable TV, I have to rent the DVDs when they become available. I usually devour a series in a couple of days. The comments below are based on the first two seasons.
Dexter Morgan, Existential Anti-hero
My existential Trial began last Friday. Rumor had it that the plumber who was going to accompany us this week to Navajo Mountain was in jail, not scheduled to be released until the next Tuesday. This was a problem because this specific plumber had helped us on similar projects and could hit the ground running. Additionally, he is a knowledgable, hardworking guy. Damn. I checked county records and sure enough he was in jail. I wondered about getting him released early?
There is great philosophy, writing, and word play in the Bible. I’m personally fond of the Old Testiment Book of Ecclesiastes, thought to have been written around 200 BC. It is a wonderful read because of the author’s exceptional command of language and beautiful King James translation. The author is one of the most original thinkers in the Bible.
