One of my favorite quotes is from Einstein: "Always remember that in addition to 8 hours for work, there are also 8 hours for mischief."
Einstein of course developed his famous relativity theories while clocking hours at a low-level job in a patent office. The idea that you can work a sensible, stable job while concocting revolution in odd hours on scrap paper has always appealed to me.
Lately, though, my mischief hours have been disappointing. No startling space and time bending insights. No lyrical verse. Spotty record on the blogging front.
So I made a list of things I can do to revamp my mischief hours:
--buy a new poetry book
--study math on the subways
--date a cute guy
--start a new scribbling notebook
Let me know if you have any other ideas. I already know one thing: the new notebook is going to be pink. :)

Thinking of designing your own website?
Try www.esolz.net , a professional company which I came across while developing my website. Although I was skeptical about outsourcing my project to an offshore company, my mind was put at rest upon reviewing their proposal. It was clear that www.esolz.net is a team made up of solid web designers who provide quality, value, and support. From day one they consulted with me and involved me in every aspect of the site development.
They completed the project within the agreed 30 days and have exercised extreme diligence in maintaining the website since then.
Check out my website at www.ventureden.com

Sooo... I'm turning comment moderation on.
ten minutes in a quiet place away from everything where every day you concentrate on thinking about nothing. try it. it takes practice to get it right. it's hard.
my zen teacher (black belt aikido) taught me this many years ago when i was a little black bear....
"imagine that you are an empty vase- and your job is to stay empty so that flowers may be placed in you."
this ten minutes will change your life!
probembear--aww I really like that! Thank you!
