Our dishwasher decided to stop working last night. When I was younger, picking out a new dishwasher would have been fun. Now it’s just another thing I don’t want to do. And of course, this happens before Thanksgiving.

Although I have many years of formal education, most of what I've learned has come from experimenting and trying to solve problems on my own. Once an idea for a project is set in my mind, it is all-consuming and one must learn everything possible about the subject on the way to the outcome. For learning is more than reading books and spoken word, it is hours of frustration, trial and error, and one sudden flash of insight when the world magically makes sense. It is during this moment when I am truely alive.
