Yesterday I saw this guy riding his bike no hands as fast as he could around a fountain near where I live and I started writing about it today. But it got too convoluted with all the things I think about cycling in Amsterdam.
And then I was thinking about how schools should not be wary of saying they are going to solve global problems in the future via their glorious graduates when there are local problems in the present right at their doorstep. Harvard and Harvard Square come to mind.
But I've probably said something about that here before.
What's keeping me up, though, is not which of these two drafts to finish and turn into a post, it is a kid who lives next door who plays video games with his friends online.
In the same way that someone talking on their phone is more distracting than two people having a conversation, his monologue of exasperations, celebrations, and declarations about what needs to be done or who has been killed means I don't sleep until he and his buddies finish conquering whatever part of hyperspace they aim to conquer.
I guess I’ll work on that biking around the fountain thing for tomorrow.
