I miss having time and energy to dedicate to hobbies and passions. I clearly perceive that I am yapping less and less and this is not good.

Margaret Atwood, the 84-year-old Canadian novelist and poet, is pictured here attempting to burn an 'unburnable' copy of her novel "The Handmaid's Tale" with a flamethrower.
A single unburnable copy was created to raise awareness about increasing censorship; her dystopian science fiction novel, which centers around one woman's quest for freedom in a totalitarian theocracy where women's rights are completely suppressed, has been the subject of numerous censorship challenges since its publication in 1985.
The unburnable copy was auctioned off after her flamethrowing attempt, raising $130,000 for PEN America, a literary and free expression advocacy organization.
As Atwood famously asserted in her poem "Spelling": "A word after a word after a word is power."
