Friday Diversion - Kurt Vonnegut -- Thinking about yesterday's news of the death of Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., I realized that there's only a few authors whose works take up a foot or two on my bookshelves -- Asimov's Robot/Foundation series, Tom Robbins (If you want another work that covers the same territory as The DaVinci Code but with a bit more surreal wit, check out Robbins' Another Roadside Attraction), and Kurt Vonnegut pretty much make up that category.
Comment on Lesson Learned -- If you are like me, you don't alway read the comments in the blogs you read, especially if you read them through an RSS feed reader. With that in mind, I feel compelled to point to a comment on my recent difficulty of using lessons learned posting...
"You will be on the lesson until u learn the lesson...lessons learned are about consciousness and ownership of your stuff." - julie
Whoever "julie" is, she (I assume - that's a name that could go either way, like Lynn and Pat) has been dropping interesting comments on other posts as well recently. They have a slightly off-center, but right on target style, attitude, and content that's grabbed my attention. julie should start a blog (or if she has one, should include the link in the url field of the comment engine.
Anyway...thanks, julie.
