Saturation point

June 26, 2011

saturation (sat-u-ra-tion) noun The state or process that occurs when no more of something can be absorbed, combined with, or added. This would be me on food.

Billy Collins and stiff upper lips

October 8, 2010

I love Billy Collins.  He makes me think differently about the things I think about.  His sometimes irreverant, and certainly candid perspective always stops me long enough to think:  Really?  Do I need to take myself that seriously?  It’s refreshing.
