You know I read your entry and then clicked the link to read the article. Oddly enough my mind wandered while reading the article so I have not read it yet. I am I guess always wondering about my mind wandering. I imagine losing my mind would be the worst thing that could happen but then I wonder if it might be a blessing of sorts. I think I mentioned before how reading is sometimes hard for me because my focus is lost and my mind trails off. I think perhaps the key is to figure out how to do both at once. It must be possible. Anything is right?

Yeah, i am in the process of reading a book for a discussion group tonight. I can't focus on it, every few sentences, every few words, my mind wanders. But sometimes the wandering is relevant to things we will be discussing tonight and i might be able to add to the discussion in ways i could not have done if i had been a good boy and read my assigned reading.
