Venetia Phair RIP

Venetia Phair, nee Burney, who as an 11-year-old girl in
1930 named the newly discovered planet Pluto, died at age
90. "In the year 4,000 A.D., when Pluto is hollowed out and
millions of people are living inside," said an amateur
astronomer, "the name of Venetia Burney may be the only
thing that Great Britain is remembered for."

I love my mom.

That article was wonderful, I am beaming with joy because you can't imagine how powerful these ideas are and how much good you are doing for everyone who tries to embrace these ideas. Really well written and so timely because that Serchuk article describing the economies evidence of "green shoots" emerging is huge this week and little do these people realize how much more gratifying simple plant growing can be vs. growing our wallets. Think about our worth… on one side, we think about our jobs, size of our wallets and education. But on the other side, our worth is what we give back to our friends and families, hopefully strangers in need and our environment. You are a huge part of this reorientation. I am so proud of you.

New Orleans Quotations and a mini-lesson in traditions + acoustioptics

Life looks like how you paint it and is whatever inspires you.

DDBB sounds like what a French military style funeral would sound like after 4 po-boys and a case of bourbon. A rich, creamy donut that makes you want to get down and dance to the funk.

I felt exposed; adversely affected; by the shoulders that surrounded me.

I’m not so rested, but I’m battle tested.

"You are, after all, genetically, half your mother and half your father. (Actually, you are slightly more your mother, since the genes in your mitochondria, the energy power centers of your cells, are inherited exclusively from your mother.)"
