Episode 29 - Captain Jack’s Sea Worthy Suggestions and the Schedule Quote-Off

Join me, Steve, The Hopeful Humanist, my oldest son, Woodrow II (his chosen cyber-handle), and my friend and spiritual brother, Captain Jack, for a very cold and brisk winter walk (-3 degrees Celsius feels like -9 and you can hear the chill in my voice) as we pit two quotes against each other for a quote-off about the benefits of schedules.  I would encourage you to go to the Good Reads link provided as the showcase resource and read the quotes before listening to the episode.  In addition to the quote-off, another good friend and spiritual brother, Danielson (his chosen cyber-handle), has offered a thought for the novel first sentence contribution provided below.  

Showcase Resource Link:

 1) Go to goodreads, an on-line book club to discover which book your going to read next.  Click the following link to read a quote about schedules by Wilkie Collins and another by Annie Dillard to discover which quote strikes a cord with you?

Other Ideas:

1)T-shirt Idea for the episode comes from Captain Jack: "Life is too short for BS"

2) Novel First Sentence by Danielson: "The mirror conjured a new testimony of age: evidence of a deeper parenthesized mouth that launched a regret-flavoured reverie as he scrutinized his disturbingly unrecognizable face." 

Special Thanks:

Again, I would like to give a special thanks to my son, Woodrow II, Captain Jack, and Danielson for their contributions to this episode.  The opening musical intro-bit was from a piece called, "Shadows," created by Dennis Alexander (b. 1947) and Martha Mier (b. 1936).

Thank-you for joining me for another blither moment at The Hopeful Humanist Cafe. As always, the conversation is on-going and continuous.  Until next time, peace and take care!
