I read the other day about
a modern-day superman. This gentleman, a doctor at a major New York City hospital,
finds time in his schedule to write fiction (for which he has won awards),
non-fiction, and stage plays, teach writer’s workshops, and lecture at a
university. In addition to the M.D. behind his name, he has earned master’s
degrees in European History, Philosophy and U.S. History, Bioethics, and Fine
Arts. He also has a law degree and is licensed to practice in two states.
All of this 39-year-old’s
degrees were earned at prestigious American universities: Brown University,
Columbia University, Albany Medical College, New York University, and Harvard
Law School. Since these noteworthy achievements apparently were not enough, he became
a licensed New York City sightseeing guide.
This blog started out with
a question, “How does he do that?” and it ends with a question, “What does one
do when depressed?”

Perhaps the question should be, "Why?"
ReplyDeleteI think you have the appropriate question, Secondary Roads.
DeleteI'm with Chuck. This guy seems to be the definition of "hyperkenesis."
ReplyDeleteVanilla, I'm just fine with everything except him winning the fiction awards. He surely could leave something for someone else.
