I do not see many things in life as being either black or white, but mostly I see them as gray. This is especially true when we are speaking of ethics, psychology, religion, etc. This is actually a bit of a curse, but that is a topic for another night of rambling thoughts. Even in physics – or maybe especially so – things are not either/or, that is the point of quantum mechanics.  I have a vague…

yeah I know you did not ask! You should so be blessed – well cursed at times actually – with a mind such as mine, making all these weird connections between my rumored neurons. Just be thankful that I do not share all of my random thoughts. I am beginning to understand something I have seen often, and, is in fact, a bit of a stereotype.  It may be due to the weight I have lost of late, or…

Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence.  I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde. “Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” ~~ Martin…
