New book

Went to M&L's for dinner and they had a pomegranate they didn't want. I was so happy to eat it for them.

Also got a book by Alan Watts, a brilliant Western scientist and philosopher who was able to make sense of Eastern ideas and translate them for Westerners. I believe he is Buddhist. The book I have is "The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are." It's very good, and challenging without being ridiculous. It's why a super logically minded friend got into Buddhism (though not as a strict religion)--it was a cohesive worldview that put everything together.
