![]() feel the learn 07/03/2007 = 09:34 AM "Nothing you ever learn is wasted." I am preoccupied with Carl Sagan, who can't help teaching me even though he's been dead for ten years. If you don't understand anything and feel like, duh, most of the time (which is how I usually am) but you want to feel a little smarter, pick up a book by Carl Sagan. He uses a lot of big words, but then he immediately follows them up with explanations that help you relate them to things you understand, like dripping faucets or cocktail sauce. (I'm not making that up about the cocktail sauce, by the way.) It's even easier when he does it on DVD. I can't walk away from Carl Sagan without feeling significantly smarter than I felt when I started. Which inspired me to take some of his lessons and make a poem.
(I wrote the last line by myself; can you tell?) Anyway, either you already knew that, or you learned a little something despite yourself, which is what's usually the case with me, when I'm dealing with Sagan. That's pretty awesome.
