The resting brain is anything but idle — that simple proposition would be clear if you could peer into Mike Mrazek’s noggin as he putters around his kitchen preparing his daily morning feast of scrambled eggs, oatmeal and fresh fruit.

As he plods through his quotidian ritual of gathering ingredients, cutting, chopping, bringing the pan to the correct temperature and boiling water for tea, Mrazek’s thoughts, too, are something of a scrambled feast, as he later recounts.
