Indexing ecology decomposes me.*




"I feel like a time-lapse film of rotting fruit." Angus, age 8, on how it feels to have a fever.

It is also a good description of my own state of mind.

*(I am the only organism on the planet to find that funny. It is also worth
mentioning that I already knew this.)

  1. That is a great description of a fever, and very evocative. You must be so proud; I would be.

    Hope he gets better soon, though.

  2. He is all recovered. And I am proud of him. Angus has a very unusual speech difference: Palilalia. He repeats the last word of a sentence or the last sound of a word. How he says things can be halting; what he says is often a revelation.
