More birthdays

The older you get, the more reasons you have to celebrate. A whole bunch of those reasons are birthdays. When the baby is very very young, every day of his life is celebrated. Until he gets up to a week or two old. Than weeks start to count. Slowly, monthes and weeks merge together for more reasons. Than it’s years. Than decades. The quarters of the century. Etc. The funny thing is that you can still keep track of days, weeks, and month – not only the years.

What was so nice abot this dream you wonder? Well, the best part of it was the answer that I gave to Maxim. I told him that his mother needs the support of angels who don’t have any place to land if we leave, because the only place they can sit is our shoulders. And it is because of the heavy angels sitting on our shoulders that we feel uncomfortable and tired. The explanation was so good that Maxim calmed down, seated his butt on the chair, put his head on his heads and made this deep sigh. He was ready to stay as long as it was needed.

Needless to say I was pretty impressed with this dream…

Few days ago he wrote this post, in which he says:

You really only need to read ten blogs. It’s the 80/20 Rule: You’ll get 80% of your information from those ten.

I don’t agree.
