I literally laughed out loud when I read "uh, leisure times?"

Here in Charlottesville, VA, the city takes TJ's birthday as a holiday. Sweet. I am in awe of his ability to meticulously catalogue all that happened in his own life, the weather, the garden. The number of books he read a year. How much can one man accomplish.

Frankl has come up a few times this year. I will have to read his book. Have you?

Purpose is fundamental. Finding it can be hard. Sometimes a directive is a very good thing.

Hi, Sonia. Thanks for your comment. Jefferson was quite accomplished, but I do have to wonder how much he knew about surviving in the wilderness.

Yes, I have read Frankl's book. I think you will find it valuable. I love the line I quoted in my column/podcast.
