I finally finished Lapham's Quarterly's Book of Nature yesterday. Work wasn't too busy, the family was away and I got some serious reading done. Here are my favorites from this edition: "Here is our long-forgotten family home.And, having heard now and then the voice of ancestors calling,Like a grey little forest bird, from far-away centuries,I… Continue reading Lapham’s Quarterly – Book of Nature Quotes
Heraclitus quotes
My favorite quotes from Heraclitus: πολυμαθίη νόον οὐ διδάσκειMuch learning does not teach understanding ποταμοῖσι τοῖσιν αὐτοῖσιν ἐμϐαίνουσιν, ἕτερα καὶ ἕτερα ὕδατα ἐπιρρεῖ.Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers. χρὴ γὰρ εὖ μάλα πολλῶν ἴστορας φιλοσόφους ἄνδρας εἶναιMen that love wisdom must be acquainted with very many things indeed. τὰ ὄντα…… Continue reading Heraclitus quotes
UFO
For the past week I’ve been using the new iPad to watch YouTube. I’ve never watched much YouTube as I consider it a waste of time but I became so sick of the news I thought I’d explore some other things on the internet. One item I decided to check out was the recently created…… Continue reading UFO

The White House – Virtual Reality Tour
I just took the tour in VR and it is fantastic!!! I’ve decided that before I die I need to have a drink – nice scotch, elegant burbon, fancy wine, whatever – in the Red Room on a cold winter’s evening with a blazing fire in the fireplace. The President, myself and some other heads…… Continue reading The White House – Virtual Reality Tour
