I'm looking forward to not needing two naps a day.
Oh, today D. presented me with "something to sign" – I expected a form from school, but it was his birthday wish list. He was hoping to get my signed agreement to provide at least 10 of the listed items, that funny-head.
"Can we elucidate the turmoil of Europe by weighing its dictators, its prime ministers, and its editors of newspapers? The idea is absurd, although some relevant information might be obtained. I am not upholding the irrelevance of science. Such a doctrine would be foolish. For example, a daily record of the bodily temperatures of the men, above mentioned, might be useful. My point is the incompleteness of the information."Meanwhile, I've had my monitor on the "wrong" resolution all day so that I can work with Adobe forms. It's weird. It's not right.
