Have Thought Will Travel. Ruminate on ideas, philosophy, culture, society, books, music, politics, religion, movies...and see where it takes us.
May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

MIchael Crichton Tribute
Michael Crichton was one of the most influential literary figures in my life. I first read the "Andromeda Strain" in 1969 or '70 and was blown away. I read "The Terminal Man", "The Great Train Robbery", "Eaters of the Dead" (not a horror story), "Congo", "Sphere", "Timeline" and "State of Fear" and his non-fiction book "Travels". I watched his movies "The Rising Sun", "Jurassic Park", "Disclosure", "Congo", "Timeline". "Twister", "Westworld", and for a few years was a fan of "ER". He was an author, film producer, medical doctor (graduated Harvard Medical School) [had graduated summa cum laude from Harvard for his undergraduate years], he did post doctoral work at the Joans Salk Institute of Biological Studies. Here's tribute to an accomplished man. RIP
