Oh and (belated) thanks everyone for the birthday wishes...sorry that it fell on such a busy time for all. Will party later when the barbeque is out (and the deck is not so green colored).

Just in case you wanted to know, at age 29, the Buddha decided to renounce the world and abandon family and posessions. Seven years later, he realized this brought him no closer to the wisdom he sought. Good advice. Go heed this.

And sorry about the angry rant below. Ranting is just under the surface these days of spring happiness.

Stupid people, what do we know? The louder, the more "fact" supported, the more demeaning, and the more righteous you act does not make you any more correct.

P.S. We are all wrong, heretics, and assholes to boot. It just depends on who you ask. But who do we know is right? So stop it already.

Oh how I wish I were a bonobo. Then I would be intelligent, have sex when I want, and probably a zoo mommy or daddy that kept me in food. Without all the expectations of career advancement, neatness, attention to current events, eye-straining math skills, and a flare for words. Sure there might be some science experimentation, but doesn't it already feel like it's all a big experiment?

Urgh. Will return when brain has returned to more solid form.

You know it's been a bad month when you need chocolate in the morning.
