Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

My wish list has grown by leaps and bounds, although I'll probably use the library rather than Amazon for these ones. I love learning from other people's questions! And thanks Bob Bob!

I had to skip, but I landed right with a board visit from Bob Bob, now with added recs. Most excellent.

Ooh, and a fairly populist but very enjoyable read, so much so that I didn't think of it as a 'text' really, when this conversation started, is Alain de Botton's The Consolations of Philosophy.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

OK. now I've got it. First, you get the womens.

Then you get the PhD...

Dang. That isn't it, either.

Ah! That's it! First, get to be a woman...

Wait. This philosophy leaves out some us.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, no, no...first women get women and then PhD or the reverse.

But, you know, Mars needs women.

What have you been up to, Gus?

Ah- hah!

First, you get to Mars ...

Or was it Venus? My head is starting to ache.

Hi, tommyrot. I've been a busy boy. I wrote a long thing that a publisher bought. Then they hated every second syllable of it, so I had to make up stuff before the check bounced. In the meanwhile, I did some software that had the primary side-effect of working only for my testcases.

Other than this, I have been lounging around looking pretty.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is the interviewer here [link] kinda slimey, or am I just feeling that way because the interviewee is my brother's wife?
