April 10, 2008 at 4:56 AMPoor wang wei...he sounded so desperate. Heartless yang jie. It can't end this way! What's going to happen to WW? I hope he doesn't jump off a bridge or something like that? That'd make for interesting vocabulary though (>_<)

April 6, 2008 at 11:18 PMI read that the famous and prolific architect Frank Lloyd Wright did much of his best work after 75...I met a lovely, lucid, clear-minded 101 year old patient this year who recited this poem to me while I splinted his broken ankle (which he sustained while picking oranges.) -- Age is a quality of mind. If your dreams you've left behind-- If hope is cold-- And you no longer look ahead And your ambitious fires are dead, Then--you're old But if in life you do your best, If in life you keep your zest-- And love you hold-- No matter how the years go by, No matter how the birthdays fly-- You are not old.
