...and rosebud. A lot of friends and family have been asking us "will Manny remember any of this?". Some affirm he won't (yeah, like you, Fred). To which we reply: Nietzsche runneth over Plato. And memory, as in consciousness and the frontal lobe, are highly overrated. Manny is learning how to relate to the world, he's building the neural networks that will make memory possible in the first place. From a developmental perspective, here is a good a place as any to do it. Up here you're sandwiched by the sun and the earth and surrounded by ents and talking flowers and your senses and pores and braincells are hotwired (and breastfed) 24/7 by the primeval source of the universe, also known as energy . That's mass multiplied by the speed of light. Einstein's nurse once said God was the gardener, to which good ol' agin' Al replied: no, he IS the garden.
