My thoughts and insights on the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.
Why am I drawn over and over again to visit nutty old pals. Middle age seems to leave me pining for the good old days, when daily interactions with a large group of close friends was a common occurrence. It may be that I only remember the pleasant ones and have somehow managed to purge […]

So, I have been trying to figure this terrorist thing out. Generally speaking, everything we do has a purpose, so there must be a purpose to what these nitwits are doing. I must assume that the purpose is to convince others to take some action. What doesn’t seem to make sense to me is that

I yam not the grammar or spelling police, but some things just drive me to drink, not that I need a reason. What are these things, you ask? Mispronouncing common words is one of these “things”. “Supposably” is one word that makes me physically ill. Another is “Libary”. The first thought that comes to mind
