Siren

Via Podictionary comes an old chestnut from the man, the myth, the legend, Ambrose Bierce:

SIREN, n. One of several musical prodigies famous for a vain attempt to dissuade Odysseus from a life on the ocean wave. Figuratively, any lady of splendid promise, dissembled purpose and disappointing performance.

The more I look into it, the more I see that everything has been done before (and with much better results).

Portland tomorrow. Heading out there instead of interviewing somewhere. Looking forward to it. Portland, that is. Not skipping the interview.
