Daily Comment

I had a rare opportunity to have a conversation, an actual one-on-one conversation, with a young man that centered on big ideas. One-on-one conversations aren't very rare, ones that touch philosophical questions are, and the generation gap (at least two, more like three) makes it lottery-win rare.

I found it very entertaining. Delightful, really.

I mention it today because... right now, there isn't a single other thing in my head better to write about.

Here's a man just out of his teens and he has some sophisticated ideas about reality, perception. It was fun to pair them with ideas I'd been introduced to and had accepted, in my forty-plus years more experience.

I'm grateful that I get to enjoy such pleasant moments.

Diet Comment

I began gaining weight Friday night, eating a whole quart of ice cream, then Saturday I ate at restaurants twice, and Sunday I had a Father's Day dinner that was heavy on carbs I almost never eat, as well as a rich chocolate cake a la mode with whipped cream, and later, a bunch of bar snacks to go with my whiskey. Hence, five pounds of weight gain in three days. A wee bit of self-sabotage, there. I hope it comes off almost as quickly.
