am--9 Cemetery Loop via Harmons. Cosmic run w/ a gradual drop in the pace to make it a negative split. Good to get back to school and run w/ the kids again. Nice first week of the year. RHR--53.
Finished a couple books today: the inspiration for Blade Runner, Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, and If This Isn't Nice, What Is? by Kurt Vonnegut. Both were enjoyable. A quote from Vonnegut's book--it's a collection of graduation speeches:
"And only well-informed, warm-hearted people can teach others things they'll always remember and love. Computers and TV don't do that.
A computer teaches a child what a computer can become.
An educated human being teaches a child what a child can become" (28-29).
5 books this year.
