His blind spot regarding sport is really quite odd. He sees sport as a science test. An equation. Something that could be worked out then solved to the point there would be no point doing it again. The idea that sport will die in a hundred years because people will realise this? The visceral, emotional and uncertainty of sport IS the attraction. The very aspect of it he doesn’t understand is the whole point of it. Listening to Penrose, Feynman and others, they all seem to have one aspect of life that baffles them. It makes them more fascinating as human beings.

Those who set out to murder my children from ever existing in my life are mistaken. I know where they are hidden. I asked God for a sign. It read kill them all. I don't know what it means. All isn't always alright to universalize. I'm looking forward to no thing of killing them . I'm not searching desperately to get them dead. Everybody dies. Not in the way where I need to be a part of it. The only thing that I wanted to do is let my family this lifetime know I never enjoyed myself.
