Re: Kayaking: letter to an old gf
Thanks - long time ago! I still meet up with Al every now & then - most Fridays a rotating cast of my old lab mates gets together for what we call our weekly off-site staff meetings. Last week it was just me, one of the chemists, and an electrical engineer. Yesterday it was just me & the chemist. It...

Re: judih and gadi remembered
I miss those vocal collaborations. I wouldn't have dared raise my hand if she hadn't encouraged me to do so.

Re: In like a lion, out like one
Wow, I'd forgotten I'd posted this... I lost Kane before the next mud season, and was dogless until this year's. But because of a relatively mild & snowless winter, we had a relatively anemic mud season. The road got bad enough to suspend doorstep newspaper delivery - and I hit a pothole a little fa...

Re: judih and gadi remembered
I've lost a lot of people over the years, as I suppose we all have - but I don't think any of them stirred me quite the way October 7 did. The closest I can recall was the morning the space shuttle Columbia was announced "overdue" at the Cape landing site. I know a little about orbital physics, and ...

Re: Newborn
thanks - there's something magical about watching these big static things we call "trees" coming alive each year about this time - and all the little green things pushing their way up through the leaf litter. And it's a coordinated effort - like an orchestral score. May it always amaze, & never beco...

Re: Bizarre— conversation with an AI bot
Oh man, I hear you about the fear of cognitive decline - I find that if someone asks me out of the blue for a name, a word, a date, anything requiring recall, I'm apt to stammer & lock up. Just yesterday I was writing something and thought the word "disabuse" would be the perfect choice - but I just...
