We are stardust
How do you define real? Some physicists theorize the universe is a three-dimensional illusion - a hologram. Others theorize the universe is a big quantum computer running a cosmic program that produces ourselves and everything around us. Welcome to the matrix. Well, almost.
Whew. I'm not sure what I believe, but it's mind blowing listening to the panel of physicists discuss the nature of the universe. Host of Quirks recorded the forum: The Physics of Information. So Neo, if you you want to hear it for yourself, you can find out What the Universe Doesn't Want You To Know at the Quirks and Quarks site.

What else... One evening over the holidays, having overeaten and still in happy holiday spirit, unable to get off the couch I browsed tv channels. Looking for something just anything to watch I happened across a Kathy Griffin special on the comedy network. I laughed so much. She told a story about meeting with Celine Dion at one of her last Vegas performances. Kathy was also accompanied by some guy who'd won a backstage meeting through a charity event. Kathy told how gracious Celine was, how beautiful and tall with lots of hair extensions. Without complaint, Celine even signed a bag of stuff for some fan boys. Kathy had promised some friends to take the bag of stuff but, embarrassed by the amount and the fact that each item had a post-it note with instructions on what to write, had tried to hide the bag until Celine noticed Kathy pushing the stuff back into the bag. Anyway, the guy, Celine, and Kathy posed for photos and as Kathy's posing and smiling next to Celine, she realizes she's been petting Celine's hair. Embarrassing, right? So Kathy points out to Celine, "I'm petting your hair!" Without missing a beat, Celine laughs and says, "Woof woof." Well, it's funny to hear Kathy tell it.

What else... I am so envious of my brothers that I can't stand it. One took his family to Jamaica for a few weeks and another went to Mexico. I could use some dazzling sun and an ocean breeze and sand between my toes right about now. Bah.
I survived the holidays. And now we have 2008. New years give me mixed-up feelings. I'm never sure whether I like them or not. I always feel this mild sadness at this time. Another year over. Finished. The end. No turning back to do it properly. Or it could just be the cold, short days of January that give me the blues. I'm not quite sure.
But then again, the new year is like a new beginning. A new start could be good. Maybe I can do things better. Be better. Get it together. Who knows what the new will bring.
So here we go into the great unknown. I hope it's a good one for one and all and brings what you want it to.
