Leaves. Rain. Sunlight. Us. We all fall.
And we’re beautiful doing it.

Denmark just re-read Article 5 and is quietly giddy, thinking, “Oh, please! Oh, please!”

The level of U.S. math & statistical literacy means an article today in The New York Times includes the explanation, “about 10 percent (10 of every 100 individuals).”

Apparently none of the Arts&Leisure editors at The NY Times have a background in physics.

Read a WP article today about a lady who lost her savings to scammers posing as FBI agents. The article explained how con artists convince people: “Scammers create the illusion that they alone are advocating for them or are the only ones who can be trusted.”
Sound familiar?

Any friends who enjoy a long-form essay and would like to read about my trip to Yosemite National Park can find a writeup on my website. It includes a few pictures, and hopefully some tips that could be helpful for first-time visitors. https://t.co/uCnNT1oXGU

Know what feels good? Vacating storage after a decade of elder care, a move, kids to college, kids graduating, divorce, & downsizing . Dozens—hundreds—of decisions: keep, donate, discard. Mentally draining, emotionally heavy. I feel great relief. Getting rid of rent: nice bonus.

@xRMMike Great shot--and a terrible one at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

Without thinking too much about it, I made a batch of bread dough tonight. In the morning it will have risen. Can’t decide if that’s funny, ironic, or sacrilegious.

Cat Bohannon’s well-delivered narration makes the audio version of this brilliant book a pleasure to listen to, and a rich source of ideas to think about long afterward. I highly recommend “Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution.”

Tonight I attended a wonderful lecture on Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. An expert elaborated on its origins & echoes. A live quartet illustrated his points. Truly a well-spent hour. Yet almost on cue, in the quietest part of the presentation, someone slowly unwrapped a peppermint.

If you can watch the final episode of “Masters of the Air”—including the bios at the end—and keep a dry eye, you’re just not human.
That was fantastic. All the more so because it was true.

Happy Birthday to Albert Einstein, who would turn 145 years old today—assuming constant acceleration.
