Do any of you remember the Ken Fritz documentary? Here it is if you missed it. I remember watching it mesmerised by how single-mindedly anyone could pursue such a dream over such a very long period (not to mention the expense) and, particularly, the opportunity cost of both, the time and the $$$. After all, our pocketbooks may be different sizes but we all only have one life, and only 24 hours in a day.
Well a friend just pointed me to this article in the Washington Post from a week-or-so back. I don’t live in the US and don’t subscribe to the Washington Post so I would never have seen it if she hadn’t sent it to me. It is tucked behind a paywall but you can read it if you register an email address or use one of those sneaky paywall crowbars.
I had no idea of this backstory. If you haven’t seen the video or read about Ken’s system/room please watch it first before reading the WP article.
