Magic City
I was sure I'd scrabbled together some Birmingham pix, from when Alexia and I visited Tara, could couldn't find them in any album, hard as I looked, so I made a new one today.
I'm embedding sans Flash widget, my usual, as Flash is being phased out. Changing all my slideshows will be a long process, if I ever get to it.

St. Patrick's Day 2020
I drove my mother, almost 91, to and from her INR appointment. That's where they check your blood and adjust your dosage. I'm on a blood thinner too.
Portland is in the early stages of facing down the Covid-19 thing meaning St. Patrick's Day is mostly canceled. I'm having a Terminal Gravity IPA.
As I was sharing with Carol on the way home, Dawn Wicca my wife passed away on this day some thirteen years ago, in 2007. I like to think she'd be happy about her family, her two daughters, and myself. How is Tom doing these days?
Beyond happiness though, is working through our cosmic destiny in various ways.
Eve and I are chatting about Koyaanisqatsi (and the Simpsons parody thereof) and King Arthur by email. She's in a locked down area of California. Daughter of Karl Menger, wife of the late George Hammond, both blog characters.
Keeping social distance is the new courtesy, the expected politeness. But they should be calling it physical distance, as in this age of social media, social distance means something else.
In the meantime, I'm continuing to work on what I'd consider positive memetic material, healthy messenger sequencing. When genetic material goes viral, that's often bad news. Memes are both easier to spread, and easier to counter. That's why they say our evolution is more mental than physical these days, and meme based more than gene based.

American Lit for High Schoolers
My humble goals for K-12 get spelled out in more detail. From the humanities side, it seems important to dive into the virology story right where Fuller crosses paths with Casper & Klug. The multi-disciplinary nature of virology is even bringing architects to the scene.
More glory came to Fuller posthumously, with the naming of buckminsterfullerene.
