low point for the idea
of “planning,” period,
but writing things
down still helps me.Where My
Mind Wanders

why I’m here. I’m most curious
about ideas that unify different
fields or areas of study—
connections that surprise and
enrich us.Best Money I Ever Spent
I collect Lincolniana [Abraham Lincoln
memorabilia], and my favorite piece is a
painting named “Lincoln House” by artist
Scott C. I paid it off in installments!

pair of Birkenstocks

Ever Taught Me

been putting holds on a
steady stream of Agatha
Christie books.Jack Essig
