On the deck of the Xanadu, Mark Twain to 11 year old Nikola Tesla:
"Son, don't you pay no mind to those jay-birds! Of course, dreams are real. They're made up of more permanent stuff than things you can only touch."
Mark winks at the boy:
"Why, dreams are like the wind at your back -- invisible but they keep pushing you forward, don't you know?"
Mark smiles at little Nikola:
"Dreams sing to us at night in the voices of those hopes we only thought we'd lost. In the day, dreams urge us on like the sight of distant blue mountains with their cool lakes and ice-cloaked shoulders."
Mark Twain slaps a hand on Nikola's shoulder.
"You dream your inventions, son, and then go on and invent those dreams. I believe in you, boy. And that's all it takes -- one person believing in you. Aw, don't you go a'hugging me now. I got my reputation as a crank to uphold!"
Board the Xanadu, the Airship of Dreams, as I sail to Chrys Fey's blog. What will you find? Not what you expect.
