Working, working

 Bagel and cream cheese...I enjoyed it. It reminded me of deli orders so long ago. I liked to get breakfast at delis in Washington, DC before work.

I am currently working on stories and poems on President's College. I like what I have so far. It should be a good book. I also plan to submit an application for a particular job today. I will continue working on my compensation paper soon. I have some new ideas for the paper. A lot to do...

Small town life

 I am certain you have seen writings about life in and lessons from a small town (example: https://www.readunwritten.com/2015/04/03/what-growing-up-in-a-small-town-teaches-you-about-life/). My poembook is similar in a lot of ways. It includes informative poems about my important experiences in the town I grew up in with a summary of top lessons from growing up there. My life in Linden shaped who I became. See my book Growing Up In The Town Of Linden.

Blurring lines

 That Anne Carson, the new Nobel Prize winner, blurs lines/categories in literature was a surprise. I read with interest that she writes "novels in verse, essays that read like poems, and poems that read like philosophy." My book is similar (it blurs lines too). Wow!

A good paper

 I could not believe the improvements. My work paid off. I saw publishing potential. (Note that the original paper was prepared in a hurry. Later, I was on a break - not taking/enrolled for classes.). Papers for publishing could be made public.

Saw an interesting book

 I was busy reading up on Hemingway. I found quite a few of his poems online. In other news, a book on simple winning caught my attention. I thought it was unusual.

My comment on the book:

This seems like a good book. The topic surprised me.

Simple is not a bad word. Simple is necessary sometimes. Simple may be a good place to start. Add complexity later. I remember the perfect competition model in economics (reminds me of Lipsey). It is simple on purpose - the assumptions reduce the complexity to lead to a much better understanding of markets. Simple could lead to better understanding.

Simple is associated with less detail (maybe glossing over details sometimes) and the removal of important options/nuances. There is a negative connotation.
