   I love your brain illustration. There are many good things in there. It made me laugh. I love dairy products too.

   Agh! Despite my huge computer screen I just squinted my way through the entire diagram, pausing to chuckle of course, before I scrolled down and saw “a larger version”. Zounds!
   What does that say about my brain…?

   Seriously, I am your long lost twin, separated from you at birth. Will call when I’m next in the Twin Cities. If only I’d known you were so close during those tortuous grad school years at the U.

    I’m noticing ’sorrow’ is roughly the same size and shape as ‘intellectual inquiry’. I wonder if there’s a correlation. Someone should do a study.

    This is great. I’m quite sure you fall well within the range of normal – which is, of course, why this is so great!

    This is AWESOME – how did you get in my head? Overarching shroud of vague anxiety? Check. (what a drag it is – can it be surgically removed, do you think?) Song lyrics? Check. (My husband wonders if I may have had genius potential had a HUGE portion of my brain not been dedicated to the lyrics of 70’s and 80’s music.) Financial ruin? Check. Lists? Check, check, check! Salt bagel with plain cream cheese OR green-olive cream cheese? Check.

    I’d like to make mine, but it wouldn’t be a tenth as funny.
