If you can't sleep or sometimes prefer a good night's non-sleep to the possible nightmares which might haunt you, if you lie awake, thinking of what might befall you in the near or far future... think again.
This BBC-report from today got me thinking, at least.
Future wishes of my s.o. and me
( Read more... ) will probably not come true, therefore we try to get along, even though this seems to be like stale bread on Melville's most famous
Pequod, without even any
substitute for something which could be "
spreadably delicious"
(click to win a whole case of the real stuff, don't settle for replacement sex).
Is your life a complete misery, a story of how you
loose everything you started out with, everything in the
inheritance bestowed upon you?
Spent the riches of your forefathers? Worried about lost treasures? Or do you ask yourself:
Is any treasure on Earth worth loosing your eternal inheritance?. Well, even if your problems are as large as mine, and you're loosing a whole state (not Illinois, where Barak Obama started to win a race he'll loose), rather like
Etrorien on
myraworld, a topic I've touched on before, as
fechtbuch will remember, and which comes to haunt me again, even though I enlisted
anysidora,
ellifaey,
gwenw and
lenew to help me in this matter. But even if, like me, you're loosing a state,
"blame not fortune", as
Niccolo wrote, who -by the way- was plagiarizing Angelo Poliziano and
Marsilio Ficino largely, as
Peter Godman showed (not on BC, but on LibraryThing), with a lot of paid help by me. A matter I can not accept help in, and an effort which will not get lost in the fray of other activities, is tackling the question whether
One of Us can
make it to
the top? From the top came two Presidents to
visit Tuebingen (German link) yesterday. The President of Italy and the Bundespräsident of Germany, who discussed the
Future of Europe with students, who presented
13 topics for discussion and improvement (German link). Alas, I wasn't specifically invited and didn't invite myself... but after the reception and the discussion (my pic will follow here) they came to
Bebenhausen to eat... a wise discussion because Guide Michelin and Gault Millau agree that here you find the best gourmet food for many miles around. Have a nice meal... and while not forgetting to eat,
do not forget to sleep either, something I'll try too, in the remaining 3 1/2 h (see icon and above).
