Feb. 28th, 2011 04:50 pmA friend sent me over to this fellow's blog, The Rat Race Trap -- Tools to improve your mind and escape the trap.

Things have changed quickly in this field, and there's a lot of new info, so it's worth taking a look when you have a few moments.
To sum up what I've read on his site: Do you want to spend the rest of your life doing and being things, or sitting on a couch somewhere drooling? Me, I'm into doing and being. So I'm going to take a break from the work and walk to the mailbox (that's a mile for me, BTW.)

I did laugh during this -- loudly, at several points.

To my younger audience: bad words used appropriately -- always best when written, not verbalized!
