Trust me, I’ll come back to the topic! Thank you for your kind comments. I can’t find it online but if you like the topic Steve Martin once wrote a really funny essay called “Artist Lost to Zoloft” that imagines what happens to a tortured Van Gogh type once he’s placed on prescription meds. It’s collected in his book Pure Drivel.

This is a great perspective for the new homeschooling families worried about missing out on all of the things their kids should know. I remember the book version of the Agony and the Ecstasy being recommended to me, and I never followed up. This is a great reminder.
