The other day, a friend told me that I ask more questions than anyone she's ever met. I suppose, then, then it's all the more appropriate that this blog is all about being curious. I may end up dead like the cat, but at least I'll know that I kicked the bucket in valiant pursuit of knowledge. There's just SO MUCH out there to soak up, it overwhelms me. Ivory tower intellectual I am not, but I love to read and I love to meet people who are so much smarter than I'll ever be and don't want to pop me one when I make them talk to me about life.

Things I Have Learned, Part I. I think this whole exercise is going to be my written interpretation of found art-- that is, useless information and/or everything totally not pertinent to anything directly that I come across in my travels, strewn throughout as it may be, and artfully assembled in one location to be examined, contemplated, harumphed with one eyebrow raised, and then muttered about as total crap someone just wasted brain cells on as the world carried on with the next item on its to do list. Eh, at least I didn't suck $20 out of you with delusions of a museum-quality display.
