Happy Happy Happy

Well, even if I have not been involved in a single misdemeanor (other then being on a highway that I should not have been on), some good things are happening on this trip. Once I stopped trying to hitchhike, my life became simpler, giving me lots and lots of time to read. I found out that because I am a Brasilian resident, I can get a 30 day pass that lets me use the train as much as I want. So I will be coming back to California to visit friends and relatives then on to New York to see some Broadway. I also found out that tickets to Broadway shows are not $400. For some reason that was in my head as the price of a close up ticket. And by close up, I mean about 6 or 7 rows away from the stage. I am very excited. Hopefully I can then spend some time in Colorado Springs learning to snowboard and skateboard. We shall see. There are many possibilities.

I just bought a book by Harold Bloom, a literary critic. The book's name is called "Where Shall Wisdom Be Found". In it he examines several different texts. The first two parts that I have read so far involved Job vs. Ecclesiates, and the second part has been Homer vs. Plato. This second part is very interesting after reading the Republic. I am trying to remember what Dr. Reynolds said about these two authors. It seems that Reynolds attempted to reconcile the two authors, which Bloom claims is strictly impossible. I now wish that I still had my notebook. Alas, alas.
