Notes from a tired mind

An interesting note from a few leagues under the sea…Researchers are saying that the sea horse’s instinct to be monogomous is hurting its chances at survival. When taken away from its mate, the sea horse refuses to get it on any more. A more jaded writer might draw a parallel between humankind and the sea horse. I probably would, except for a striking difference between the two: The male sea horse actually carries the sea horse children. That is, the man gets pregnant. Now, I suppose you could argue that if the human male had to carry kids he might be a little leary about sticking it to his neighbor’s wife.

“Did you hear about Mr. Johnson? He’s knocked up with the milk maid’s baby!”

That would be interesting. I wonder how much the rate of infidelity would drop if males risked getting pregnant.

A note from the world of the career man…I’m tired. I want a summer vacation. I want to spend six weeks doing nothing but reading, grilling, hiking, and laughing. I think I’d do a lot better job at work if I could have that.

Ah, well. Eventually my mind will give out. I’ve only been slightly insane before. A full-scale freakout might be interesting.
