Notes - death's twin


          Banana and skim milk for breakfast as you are having an early lunch with Mary Lou then, depending on the movie, the three of you will see one.
         We had lunch at Smashburgers and saw the new “Mission Impossible” at the Regal off Mason-Montgomery Road in Deerfield Township. It is the best action movie of all the MI film series. Wonderful fun. The fog has come in and lingers – Mary Lou headed home and Carol is on the phone with her sister Linda. All is normal and well.
         Bedtime. You spent the evening reading on the Steve Jobs biography.
         I have. I think the MacBook Air was Steve’s dream way back in the eighties but he did not know how to articulate it because the technology had not yet arrived to create the machine. The MBA is a piece of art. Form and function at its present best. I would say this even if I did not own one. I own one because I have thought this for a long time.
         Simplicity may be the best design but the Merlyn books and blogs are not designed as an art form. We come into the world messy and many of us leave it the same way, messy. We can create the art though as Steve and thousands and thousands of others have shown. Consciousness – what realms do we have yet to explore?
         All for tonight, boy. Sleep on it, that’s what everyone does from time to time, sleep. Death’s twin as the ancient Greeks used to say. Don’t you agree, orndorff?
         No. I don’t. Time to post a good night though.
