Brave Old World

Well. I am close to the end. Haven't hurried because I kinda have to work on her schedule, and I was reading something else simultaneously.

It would be easy to focus on all the ways Hux missed the boat, but the really frightening thing is how much he got right. Funny thing.....as far as critical thinking goes......our technology has improved, no doubt, but if anything, our thinking has barely improved, if at all.

If you have never read the book, or if it has been so long you've forgotten, visit the library and dip in to this story again. In fact, re-read all the stuff you read as a kid. Sure, the books are the same, but you aren't. What you take from them will be worlds apart from the first time.

Spring has sprung, and I feel the searing breath of Summer over my shoulder. For the first time in my life, I am wondering just how many more Springs or Summers I'll greet from the lighter side of the air/dirt interface. Guess I better enjoy them all.

I'm still struggling with my Sudoku addiction. I have a puzzle book in the can, and start puzzling as soon as I sit. Big Problem. I forget the business I set down to do, and get all involved in swirling numbers. Before I know it, an hour has gone by, I'm late to work, and well on my way to developing sudokuroids. Is there a chapter of Sudokuholics Anonymous anywhere?
