Insanity Whatever

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

This quote is attributed to both Ben Franklin and Albert Einstein depending on where you search on the net. And is it just me or is everybody referencing it all the time?

Come on. This isn't actually the definition of insanity, by medical standards.

I think we all dig it because it is something we understand and can relate to. Repeated patterns.

So what do we call doing the same thing over and over again all the while knowing that the result is going to be exactly the same as the time before? Stupidity? No, less judgment. Maybe complacency?

Anyway.

I was up in New York for a couple of days. Highlights included seeing the lovely Miss Heisler as an adorable little English boy with a bucket on her head in the visually stunning and ultimately quite satisfying Coram Boy, perusing scripts at New Dramatists (big cushy chairs! free coffee and tea! so many scripts!), eats and drinks and catch up with benjamin, chimays with the former speech writer, thai food and baby time with trish and sonja, and lots of phone calls to people I missed meeting up with.

Next time, for sure. All y'all.

Now, stolen from Hannah's blog, the latest greatest humor from Mr. Valley. Enjoy.

And if you don't have plans for the evening and are just itching to get out, swing by one of the many hill establishments supporting Eastern Market tonight. Two guesses where I'll be.
