There are now some mountains that my brain can no longer climb.

My favorite method of procrastination is to do something else that needs doing, but not quite so imminently. Sleeping is also good, as is drinking until you really can't do anything very well anymore.

Reading my way all the way through Sherlock Holmes gave me a lifelong love for crime and detective fiction.

There are now some mountains that my brain can no longer climb.

There are no living beings who exert more power over others, pound for pound, than tiny babies and extremely thin moguls.

I can't think of a comparable level of cultural excitement about something since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in the 1960s.

I particularly felt that my job in management was safe from the incursion of machines with friendly faces painted on the front of their heads, or whatever you call the metal constructions atop their shoulders, if those are indeed shoulders.
