Little Synapses

A drawing of mine - little synapses firing away!

Here's a great quote by A.E. Housman:

Knowledge is good, method is good, but one thing beyond all others is necessary; and that is to have a head, not a pumpkin, on your shoulders and brains, not pudding, in your head.
 

Some days, I think the pudding in there is winning. Such is the fate of the aging process that we just don't think straight every single day.  Maybe it's because we are getting addled truly, or maybe it's because we aren't paying as much attention as we used to.  In either case, those synapses aren't firing like they used to, are they?
