For you regular readers of this blog, you know that my major theme is out-of-the-box thinking and living. Today is going to be a little different, as it involves full-on inside-the-box thinking. I’ve been thinking about Schrodinger’s Cat this morning. For those of you who know what I’m talking about, feel free to skim through […]
As promised, here is my blog on joy. But before I do that, just a little update for those who are interested. I have arrived safely in New York, and have already experienced memories of why I loved it here and also why I had to move. I’d forgotten how noisy is can be to […]
