Introduction

Amusing Myself to Life is a collection of essays, observations, and thought pieces that veer between comic and spiritual which is where I see most conversations leading these days. The title is a play on Neil Postman’s classic critique of television, called Amusing Ourselves to Death. That sounded dangerous to me and because my sense of humor is one of my key senses, along with hearing and seeing, I opted for a title that encouraged amusement as a way to see the world. If you have read my other blog, professorenos, some of these pieces will be familiar to you. Others are original work. I always look forward to comments and suggestions.
