  3. A quotation from Eisenhower

       Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
       The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
       This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

    Dwight David Eisenhower (1890-1969) American general, US President (1953-61)
    Speech (1953-04-16), “The Chance for Peace,” American Society of Newspaper Editors, Washington, DC

  8. The Best Promise I Ever Kept Was to Myself
    What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept? A while back I made myself one promise: stop living for work and start living for me. Turns out that’s one of the few promises I’ve actually managed to keep. Work will chew you up

    I'm greatly a reader and writer. I'm also aging, and suffer dry eye/MGD, which make extended readng increasingly difficult. I don't expect this trend to reverse, though one can hope against probability.
    As reading gets progressively limited, I know I shall have to segue to audio sources to the extent they are available, and to the extent i can effectively and ethically (e.g. without feeding rapacious LLMs and gratuitously supporting big data centers) convert text to audio.
    Meanwhile, I need to take more frequent and probably longer breaks. Unfortunately, physical exercise, e.g. walks in the woods, has grown far more difficult than it was a year ago. In this regard, I can hope for recovery over the next year, as I rebound from medical treatments.
    Still, I will have to read less. Will this mean no more book projects? I haven't decided; that work, however, has been on hiatus.
    How about reading to learn, and reading for pleasure? Rreconnecting with old friends, written ones? This is important to me.
    How about going through the books, and the files, I inherited from my mentor Creighton Schwan? Many I've not yet cracked, even though he trusted me as his intellectual heir. Challenges.
    I know, based on other surprises, that visual changes could hit suddenly. If this happens, I could painfully regret having punted these questions.

  33. 2/3 So I mentally created a secret third thing and called it 'hobby treated seriously.'

    For this, I:
    - Protect my writing time like a pro
    - Take writing retreats with my buddy
    - Invest in tools (like Scrivener)
    - Take days off work to write
    - It’s not a job, but it’s not just a pastime either

    Do you have a hobby that demands this level of commitment?
