If you TAKE any world problem, any issue on the planet, the solution to that problem CERTAINLY includes EDUCATION. In education, the roadblock is the laptop.

You have teenagers thinking they're going to make millions as NBA stars when that's not REALISTIC for EVEN 1 PERCENT of them. Becoming a SCIENTIST or engineer is.

You can get anything ONLINE, including things that don't even EXIST. We've invented our own collective unconscious. The NORMAL rules of time and space don't apply. It's held together by some other force than gravity. It's ENDLESS. It's like some unimaginably huge, messy novel that's writing itself both with and without us.

A world with a sudden LIMIT on AIR travel would be tremendously different from the one we LIVE in now.

At my FIRST library job, I worked with a woman NAMED Sheila Brownstein, who was The Reader's Advisor. She was a SHORT, bosomy Englishwoman who accosted people at the shelves and asked if they wanted advice on what to read, and if the answer was yes, she asked what writers they already LOVED and then suggested somebody NEW.

I am not intimidated by puerile BOYS ACTING LIKE pre-teens.

I'm not angry, I'm not an angry person, but I do SOMETIMES like playing with the perception of anger, as in PRETENDING that I'm more angry than I actually am, and sometimes it WORKS QUITE WELL.

I BECAME a PROFESSIONAL musician and played all kinds of music. I played bluegrass, I played CLASSICAL music, and for MANY YEARS, I played jazz.

I FEEL in love with holography, which is that you don't have to wear ANYTHING or CARRY anything. It is augmented REALITY, if you will.
