I've decided that for 24 hours starting at midnight tonight, until midnight tomorrow I will be going through Dr. Sagan's books, writing a memorial blog for him, and excluding all violent television and games for the period from my life.

Anyone else doing anything?

I'll be watching my Oklahoma State Cowboys and eating my pork and venison stew.  Come to think of it.....it kind of reminds me of Dr. Sagan's primordial soup experiment he had on NOVA on PBS years ago.  He was the one who really introduced me to this theory.  I found it fascinating then and still follow it today.  Quirky and lovable, we miss him very much.  Thanks for the reminder!

Although he as a very brilliant man, I don't think his birthday is going to change what I do on any given Saturday or day of the week. Now if it was going to be my wife's birthday, then that is a different story and I would hop to it for her.    I guess it is all in priorities.
