Someone suggested "thoughtfulness" as one of the virtues to be practiced.
As evidenced by this seminar schedule, I do believe that NNY912 supports "thinking".

11:30 – 12:30 Colloquium – Comparing the Virginian to Pride and Prejudice
12:30 – 1:00 LUNCH

12:30 – 1:00 LUNCH

4:30 - 5:00 Close
Now, if I attend, I will need to reacquaint myself with "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Virginian". How do they relate, I wonder. It's been a loong time since I've actually "thought"!
And Shakespeare and the Bible? What do they have in common besides "King James (or Elizabeth's) English"?
Whew! I'm tired before I begin.
And that's the problem with our present USA culture.

OK, I borrowed the books at the library. They were in "the back", where the classics are. Hmmmm.
