| Introduction | The photo I'm using is of Regine Anne Olsen. I don't actually know what her middle name is but "Anne" sounds good to me. If I ever have another cat, that will be her name. I've always wondered about Regine; she's one of those folks from history I would love to meet and talk with. I wonder what Soren would have been like if they had married. I wonder if there was anything that Regine, Soren, their parents, or even an outsider could have done to mend their relationship. Was the misery that Kierkegaard created for himself and Regine necessary? If so, does that mean that the rest of us would have more insight and impact if we embraced more misery? So, "about me"..... Well, I spend my day-to-day life in the world of work, family, and friends. Whenever I can, I escape to the world of Soren, Regine, and seizing the day. |

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
Random Question from Blogger - ok .... hmmmm, I'll take a statue made of fragrant roses; it will commemorate my retirement from work. I can't wait!
