READING, WRITING

Harari in SAPIENS:  says that happiness is less based on objective conditions than subjective experience; further, experts have long said so, but seem to be looking for different ways of saying the same thing the ancients said about it.

OBAMA in A PROMISED LAND:  recalls difficulty of handling the recession and specifically the Big 3 Auto companies (bankruptcy, bailout, etc)

HAIDT in RIGHTEOUS MIND:  says bumper stickers often reflect societal positions (e.g. "Don't tread on me" - conservative victim.  And "Save Darfur" - liberal activist)

FRANKL in MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING:  says his logotherapeutic technique has succeeded in curing many patients with chronic conditions (e.g., washing obsession/germophobia).

**********

Well, it's a milestone day:  42 years ago, I became the father of a baby girl:  Lisa Marie Taylor, now Lisa Marie Taylor Ashton, and herself mother of 3 children.

I feel like I gave myself short shrift today - minimal meditation, minimal exercise, minimal piano, minimal reading & writing.

But at least I did some.

Yesterday, David explained that he expects the documents for the sale of his mine will be in place this week (or next week).  I'm just hoping that this time, it really WILL be true.  "Maybe next time I'll win."

As of now, no money.
