THIS WEEK’S CELEBRITY GUEST COMMENT — by Steve Nadis

This week’s “celebrity guest comment” comes from Daphne who wrote in response to “The Theory of Everything” that arrived unexpectedly on my doorstep a few days ago. “Just think of how good it would feel to know that when you’ve finished reading it, you would know everything there is to know,” she said. “No more learning to be done - so much time freed up for handball!”

Once again, I’d like to thank Daphne for the thoughtful note. (I often call them “thoughtful” notes, but this one really was, as the word implies, full of thought.) What she said about handball got me thinking. And the more I thought, the more I thought I’d better get reading that little treatise (81 single-spaced pages with appendices) about everything and more. Yes, Daphne’s note sparked a thirst in me. And a hunger–a hunger to learn. I want to know everything there is to know. And then have the rest of my life to goof off. And play volleyball, work on my inner game, take on evermore challenging sudoku puzzles, and watch mediocre movies and not even mind because now I have all the time in the world.

    And thank you, Steve, for making me feel like a (very) minor celebrity. You made my day!

    You’re very welcome, Daphne. Your comment definitely warranted “celebrity” status, minor or not. (I think not.)

    Snake, after you’re done reading this, tell me which team wins the Super Bowl next year. I want to place my bet now to get the best odds.

  4. Snake says:

    I can’t be more specific now other than to say it will be one team from the NBA.

    NBA, huh? Well I’ll be gosh-darned. Maybe those Celtics will finally clinch the Superbowl. It’d be real”FIRST”! ;)~

    Hi Marco. Someone recently told me I should try to think outside the box. That’s just one example.
