Gees, I am slack... no post in almost 2 months, and the last one wasn't even mine, just a CFP that I copied from an email.I should pull my finger out and start writing again... just seem to get distracted a lot lately.

They say that time is relative.I say age is relative.40 doesn't sound old, but 41 does!(yes, I am 41 today!)I found out that 41 is a prime number, in fact the 13th prime number, making it a double prime!

I have started reading a book my good friend Nathan gave me as a present... The Conscious Mind:In Search of a Fundamental Theoryby David J. Chalmers It has reminded me how much I enjoy the consciousness field. So I am currently grabbing all the base information I can about consciousness. I am getting the articles from both IEP and SEP. I am also using my own books, "The Routledge Shorter
