Asperger's Conversations

Read More Books

With a few exceptions I'm buying books for friends and family this year.  It's no secret that our "smart phones" are grabbing too much of our attention and making us dumber.  My fantasy: Folks I know and care about will hunker down this Christmas season (blanket and cat on lap) with a good book.

Thought for the day: Life is fleeting

Thanks to Lee Faver for sending me this from today's NY Times.

I love this excerpt:

"Radiation is a potent allegory for human life. Everything is always, inevitably falling apart; we are all in arrested decay. Our greatest achievements may become at best footnotes; few people remember us; we can’t know what will eventually come of our work."

 At first glance it's a bit depressing, but ultimately perhaps a bit freeing.  Another thought of the day before I head off to Iceland: "Sha la la la la la live for today"

 

Time to give (again)!
