What does it mean to be prepared in a land of potential earthquakes? We've all seen the pictures from Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy. People are always urged to have 3 days of food and water supplies on hand - to be able to be self-sufficient for at least (at least) that long. But how many of us actually do that?
The edge of Ideas. The edge of Connections. The edge of the Unknown. And... in 2020... reading my way (again) through a hefty list of World-Changing books.

Belief-o-matic
I was looking for the readings of the day yesterday... the Catholic readings, the Koran readings... something to feed the writing well. I eventually landed on a website called Beliefnet.com. They have all sorts of things... Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Taoism... You name it, they have it.
One little thing caught my eye - a quiz called Belief-o-matic. Twenty questions that will tell you what faith category you fall under... Hmmm... too irresistible for me! The disclaimer is kind of cute too: "Belief-O-Matic™ assumes no legal liability for the ultimate fate of your soul." Alright, I've been warned!!

Life of Pi
I know... this poor blog has been languishing for exactly 7 months (almost to the day). Life has been hectic and busy... and with the year away, I now have some time to devote to writing.
Truth be told, the urge to write has never gone away, I just haven't let it had free rein! But we'll see how this goes.
The Life of Pi. It's a book. I'd heard about it about 10 years ago but never read it. Never had any desire to read it actually. And it's by a Canadian author too! Has won many medals... And yet was never on my radar screen until a few weeks ago. That is when I started seeing ads for a movie version of Life of Pi. It looked interesting but that is about it.
