Autodidact Yourself

A brief discussion of being self-taught, i.e., the self, teaching itself.  An autodidact is a self-learner. Most think learning is about the external world of what when where why and how.

Fatness for the Love of Potlucks and Protests

Potluck This past week NPR noted Maine’s movement of having Sunday potluck dinners. Sunday church potlucks were a part of my upbringing. Yeah, why doesn’t everybody do a weekly potluck at their church, community picnic at a park, at a senior center or daycare? Develop relationships and fight isolation via shared gatherings.
