wow somehow better than my ma's pancake recipe? sure we'll see haha

the quiet and also being able to remember that whatever I'm feeling is small and doesn't matter that much when it comes to the big picture

[pagekaren]

Oh, it's going to be a showdown of mom's recipes then. My mom made pancakes for the diner she and my dad ran, but these are the ones she'd make for special occasions for me.
There is something weirdly comforting about that.
Like that Carl Sagan quote. The "mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam" one.

[counterstep]

then I'll have to try them
yeah stuff you had when you were a kid will always have that kind of feeling to it, I think
so please don't be offended if I still end up preferring my ma's

don't think I've heard that one before but yeah something like that

[pagekaren]

Oh, I'll be offended on your ma's behalf if you rank them higher.
I'd settle for best pancakes not made by her.

It's a good quote. You can read it here if you're interested.

[She sends a link next.]

The whole book is a good read. It's about scientific discovery and how it alters our understanding of ourselves as a species.

aww shucks
my ma would be pleased

( and he does really mean that. )

huh yeah actually this seems pretty interesting
I'll have to stop by the library and see if they have it available

[pagekaren]

Good.

[Which she also means. Her mother would have said the same thing.]

Save your check out limit, you can borrow my copy. I'll bring it on Monday.

[counterstep]

oh yeah?
well my thanks, then
I have been needing to do more reading up lately so I really appreciate that

[pagekaren]

Of course.
Careful or I'm going to try to talk you into a two person book club.

[counterstep]

geeze haha
I don't know if I really have the schedule for that

maybe someday though

[pagekaren]

I was going to say, it would be an extremely slow book club.
I've only had time to read on the train lately.
