This is the first time I’ve been reminded by wall-scratchings to keep myself in the moment and stay mindful.
It does bring up an interesting point. I don’t think I’m alone in liking the Metro’s signage letting me know how soon the train is coming, but aside from scratching that desire to know, how useful is the information? I’d say 99 times out of 100 I’m going to continue to wait for it and not change my plans. So what’s the point of the knowledge beyond playing along with our modern need to know How and When even if that information really leaves us no more informed than before?

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
