Well, I think that what happened is this: Ganesh was walking home -- drunk -- one night, and he took exception to some aspect or action of the moon, broke off a tusk, and flung it at the offending orb.
I've decided to use this blog, once strictly my "travel log," as a space to make others comments, on books, music, art, whatever. And of course when I head to London in August I'll make travel posts as well.
