It's Going To Be A Long Day.

I had written the initial couple of paragraphs the other day but in the spririt of 'tidying' I thought I would stitch it into the fabric of todays patchwork post. After the second paragraph it should all tie in nicely and make some sesne, as much as my posts ever do. That said, it is indeed going to be a long day.

OK, so I'm going left field on this, actually not sure if it will see the light of day yet, I suppose if you're reading this then it did, obviously. We are a unique group, you and I. We work hard and we share the ups and the downs. We pass on what we've discovered on our individual journeys and sometimes we give a little bit of ourselves away.

Now, straightaway I can see a few nervous twitches starting to appear, the odd shoulder

moving up and down and maybe a sideways glance or two, where's this going ? I hear the quiet voice of trepidation. Don't worry, I'm not going to get weird on you, I mean I could but I won't. Or should that be 'weirder', no. 'Quirkier' yes, that sounds better.

Today will be a rest day, of sorts. It's been a long few days and I thought I would indulge myself. Don't get me wrong, life is good but the last few weeks I have been trying to 'learn' which always takes its toll. I mean, if you're going to explore you need to commit yourself, yes? I know the brain isn't a muscle but I like to think the same principle applies when it comes to 'growth'. You have to have a bit of pain, you have to stretch the synapses. However, like when you are snapping sinews, you need rest to enable your body to recover, to heal, to grow stronger. As we knit new neural pathways, it takes its toll and rather than undoing all of the good work we have done, we need to have a break and let our minds wander on their own, without being forced or pushed.


So, I have about six and a half hours driving ahead of me today, as we take one of the clan back to university. Rest ? I can see that eyebrow moving up, like only Roger Moore can. Someone in the cortex club might know why this is, why I class it as rest. I have found in the past, I have had some of the best brainstorming sessions whilst driving, obviously paying due consideration to other road users at the same time. Maybe because part of the brain is concentrating on driving, some other part is freed up to converse, it could just be that there's nothing else to do and talking is a way of making the journey pass quicker, who knows. It is, what it is and I'm looking forward to it.

It's 7.14am and there's a few things to sort out before we depart, so I'll keep it brief. When I get back there will be a load of notifications and after having a bath and making tea, there won't be much time left to wander through your wonderful words, so I'm apologising in advance, it may take me another day to get through them all. We will, however, endure. That's how we roll.

Before I make like a tree and leaf, I'd like to pick your brains. I may well put this in the questions section but I'm here now, so might as well ask.

I'm looking for an online encyclopedia, failing that, one I can download or just go and buy. Not Wikipedia. This may come as no surprise but I have one on CD Rom, Encylopaedia Britannica. It came as a software package when we bought our first computer. It was the year of the Symbol, formerly known as Prince, 1999. It might be a tad dated now but if needs be I can utilise it for what I need. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. I can fill you in on the 'whys and wherefores' at a later date.

Right, I'd better get off. The road ahead is long, straight and is beckoning me. Time to get it on.

Happy Monday.

Twack Romero.

Safe travels to you, and to the offspring returning to the the hallowed halls of higher education.
Driving is a wonderful time to converse with yourself...I spent years in sales and selling was the easy part of the job. The hard part was the hours spent driving from one place to another, as I had a very large territory.
I have nothing to offer in the way of an encyclopedia, I thought that’s what Google was for!
Happy Monday.

'Happy Monday' needs to be a 'thing'. I love Mondays.
There was be a 'technical' explanation as to why the thought process works as it does when you would seem to be otherwise occupied. One for another day.
The long and short of it, is that I need page numbers. Again, one for another day.
Thank you KyleAnn.

I hope you enjoy the drive. I do a lot of study online and usually just type a question into my browser about the type of compendium I want. I have found many like this. In many ways, the internet is an encyclopedia. A very simple, fun resource is: https://www.encyclopedia.com/

Thank you Jim, as daft as it might sound, I need page numbers. Long story. Might have to go for a download. Appreciate you taking the time though.

Be safe and enjoy my friend!

Thank you Florentino. I am back in the fold and in one piece, which is always a nice bonus.

Hahaha. You're a tough guy. Great to know Twack.

Twack, be safe on your travels today. Ain’t got no suggestions on an. Encyclopedia as I just google my questions.
Have a great, busy day.
Joe

Thank you Joe, no problem and thank you for your kind thoughts. I am back, washed, scrubbed and ready for food.

Wish you a pleasant drive, my friend. Well, by the time you get to read this you will be probably back. But never mind.
Encyclopedia is a nice word, I've always liked that. Why is the grammar check underlining it?

Incorrect Spelling.

"Encylopaedia"

I like to use 'æ' but didn't have time to find it earlier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Æ

All back now, it was a long one, as expected. Still, now I can really get stuck in.
