…how difficult it would be just to know all the time that everything’s going to be all right? I mean, we can put a man on the moon and recreate the Big Bang underground in Switzerland, but I can’t rest easy in the knowledge that the little baby growing in my wife’s belly is going to make it through the next six months without incident. Stupid science and nature. Maybe the world really is only 6,000 years old, and dinosaurs and humans used to live together like on Land of the Lost.
Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Tick, tock.
