The Doctor Who Saved My Soul
Doctor Who, for those that don’t know, is one of the most popular television shows in the world. It originates from Britain, and is actually celebrating it beginning 50 years ago.... I don’t see how its not the longest running show ever....
When I first saw it, there was nothing on TV like it, especially not in the USA. The humor was not only funny, but incredibly smart, filled with all sorts of wonderful imagination. After watching that show, way back in the 80s, I grew a sort of disdain for the television shows in the US....

The World is Built on Imagination
Somewhere along the way, I started collecting knowledge. My brain just soaks it up from all over the place. And somehow, along the same way, I proved Einstein right.... It all comes down to me having that childhood I discussed in The Time I Learned How to Pretend to Smile.

Thoughts on Science
I truly wish some people would accept science. There is so much beauty out there in the world, and its so wonderful to just understand it better. And the best thing about science to me is, it takes so much imagination and thought to truly comprehend.
Birds are amazing creatures, they flit and fly and do such amazing things that make us humans so friggin’ jealous. But I can’t help but look at them and see their history. To think, their ancestors were the dinosaurs. Its evolution at its purest, and its so amazing to just look at them and see the skeletons of those ancient, huge creatures. Those little creatures have survived so much through the eons.... But how is it not amazing to think, the Dinosaurs didn’t become extinct, they evolved and survived, to thrive again.
