Daily Thoughts 09/27/2014

This morning, I checked the libraries Twitter and Facebook.

Last night, I watched a bit of Cosmos A Space Time Odyssey with Neil Degrasse Tyson.  The visuals were fantastic.  I especially liked the historical animations.

I read some of The Marshmallow Test Mastering Self Control by Walter Mischel. The book is about delayed gratification, self control, and impulse control.
