So I just got out of a two-hour meeting on "infrastructure" and was talking to a coworker about why I love the Internet (in brief, it has something to do with my frequently thwarted desire to like people, as a species). He just sent me this:
“I understood the paradox and the tragedy of so many liberals and radicals on the "intellectual" side, who believe that men must work in groups, yet who cannot bear a committee meeting themselves. We were social by conviction, but intensely individualist by nature.”
-Eric Sevareid (who also happens to be my coworker's grandfather)
The quote comes from Sevareid's Not So Wild a Dream.
As if Eric Sevareid's quoted quote wasn't enough excitement and inspiration for one blog lifetime, legend has it that Sevareid's grandson (previously referred to as "coworker")is quite the lady-killer, heart-breaker, easy on the eyes, and so on... In fact, at a Friday night gathering in Hollywood, this "coworker" has been dubbed "The Handsomest GSR in town".
