If I have exhausted the justifications I have reached bedrock, and my spade is turned. Then I am inclined to say: "This is simply what I do." (Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations, remark 217)

Personal Update
Yesterday we bought a pet rat. We have decided to name her Beatrice, Beezus for short. So far, she has proven to be very shy, and very willing to poop at inconvenient times. But love is patient and so on and so forth.
I was torn between "Myrtle" and "Beatrice" as names for the rat, then Dawn told me about this precedent for "Beezus" being a nickname for "Beatrice", and that pretty much won me over.

Help me Beezus!
