Epiphany for the Day - Don't take it so seriously!
06Jan2007 08:36 AM Books
Today is
my step-son's birthday... Happy Birthday, Shaun!!!
We'll be celebrating with him and his wife for dinner
out in a few hours (looking forward to that 'con much
gusto')... on Epiphany Day (why not personalize a
religious tradition with personal relevance that
transcends dogma and vicarious-ness?)
Speaking of gusto, last night we read a bit more of A. J. Jacob's Know-It-All, (thanks to a gift from my sister, Gayle!) which is fun to read a few pages of before nodding off... (Nancy & I have this quasi-tradition of reading a little aloud to each other; well, I actually do most of the reading, but we both enjoy it...) Anyway, a few good laughs are a nice way to end the day, and remind ourselves (as we transition from intense focus on these three vast, yet ultimately minuscule (teensy, tiny) windows on reality from this little planet out at the edge of a spiral arm of a typical galaxy...to so-called 'dream land'. Remember, we're all infinite beings, right! Know-It-All is a great tour in alphabetical order of some rather fun curiosities about our culture. We haven't even gotten through the I's (we fell asleep last night just before 'Intercourse', but already I can recommend this book!
