Writers Write
I had been writing here more often because I wanted to record and note. Now I seem to be encountering fewer things worthy of notice, though the volume of observations would be about the same. Perhaps only the depth of observation may have waned. Let’s see what’s stirring and intriguing now a days. What thoughts push more thinking?
As I valiantly endeavored to order at dim sum today against Rory’s concerted effort to tick everything on the menu (she is a sampler), Max decided to put in an order of his own:
His order, in order, was as follow:
- (dead) Fish, obviously
- Noodles, obviously
- Steamed pork buns (his dad’s favourite), obviously
- Toys
- And more toys.
- Superfluous tick, presumably in excitement over more toys.
You have to create your own menus when you can’t read or write quite yet. Pre-literacy might be the true mother of invention.
Rory took on the project of commemorating our lunch in pictures, and continued her obsession with checking off the items:

I assume you’ve been encountering and observing at the same level of interest as before, but with less of a need to write about it.
Further observations to follow. But to start – children are fascinating.
I think you are right AND I am observing less. A result of a lack of energy and motivation, I think, rather than a lack of stimulation.
There’s a certain normalizing common to most humans after a certain age that seems to be less common further up the youth scale. I’m glad we tend to celebrate young folk for this deficiency.
