I was disappointed that Gone with the Wind didn’t have any gale-force winds or anything else worthwhile.

I was disappointed the first time I read Plato. All Socrates did was ask one question after another… SO ANNOYING. I’d have KILLED HIM. And, it looks like ancient Athens felt the same way I did.

Yes Socrates is annoying. He goes around asking questions claiming he doesn’t know anything and then making other people look stupid… However his arguments always hinge on the idea that people are completely consistent in everything they think or do., which is where the Socratic dialogues fail. I always admired the other Athenians restraint in not pushing him off the Acropolis, regularly.

I think a lot of his “wins” have more to do with language issues than logic…

What good is Enligh Lit if they aren’t going to tell you how to set the UK on fire?! I never understood that class either.

OMG! I was disappointed when I first had sex as well…there were two people in my case…but I remember thinking…”That’s it? That’s what all the fuss is about?” I was also disappointed in myself as a father…because, truth is, no one told me the kids would grow up and eventually leave me…I thought they’d be 12 forever and I’d stay in heaven! To this day, I still cry!

In a pandemic, with few jobs, more and more kids are returning home. I’d love to have my adult children return…I’ll let you know if they do. Meanwhile, I’ll keep writing to distract myself…
