love thursday: time well spent

"The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned."

~ Douglas Adams

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Enjoy your world today.

(P.S.  I'm headed out of town to speak at the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop today, so it may be the weekend before I can turn your URLs into links -- but I'll do it, I promise!  Chookooloonks will be updated this week, but as always, if you want to see what I'm up to real-time on this trip, you can always check here.)
