I've been talking to myself a lot lately. I don't know what that's about, but my mother was the same way. She hated to make small talk with other people, but get her into a conversation with herself and she was quite the raconteur. She would tell herself a joke and clap her hands together as she let out a laugh; she would murmur to the plants as she watered them, and offer encouragement to the food as she cooked it. Sometimes I would walk into a room and surprise her as she was regaling herself with some delightful story, and I remember how the sound would dry up in her mouth. She stood there, frozen in the headlights of my teenage scorn. ↗

Our educational system is like an automobile which has strong rear lights, brightly illuminating the past. But looking forward things are barely discernible. ↗

If you're still in a bar when the lights go on, you are a loser. ↗

I agree completely with my son James when he says 'Internet is like electricity. The latter lights up everything, while the former lights up knowledge'. ↗
