New York Times, What to Cook this weekend…
Good morning. There was a great moment the other day as I was driving down to the market for supplies, a rare traffic jam on a stretch of road that’s generally barren, cars backed up in both directions so that a family of Canada geese could waddle across the road, moving from a pond on one side to the bay on the other. The mother goose had her neck stretched low to the pavement, guiding the goslings along, and if Michael the police officer wasn’t there with his whistle to help, it was still reminiscent of Robert McCloskey’s “Make Way for Ducklings,” and I knew every driver in line was smiling behind her mask.


How fast can a human run? 2 legs? Four might be better.

Studying plastics in the air we breathe and our waterways.





"We cannot account for the rotation of Betelgeuse," Wheeler said. "It's spinning 150 times faster than any plausible single star just rotating and doing its thing."
He directed a team of undergraduates including Sarafina Nance, Manuel Diaz, and James Sullivan of The University of Texas at Austin, as well as visiting students from China and Greece, to study Betelgeuse with a computer modeling program called MESA. The students used MESA to model Betelgeuse's rotation for the first time.

Each has a different tonal colour, or “timbre”, which gives them their own unique characteristic sound. This is how we can naturally tell them apart when listening to music. As you develop as a singer, it is important to listen more analytically to the timbres, and therefore the pitches of different instruments, and how to tune your voice to each of them. https://www.musical-u.com/learn/...

Tuesday 6/15 My Background is in Communications, This piece is a beautiful story selling a tough old American Brand. And I relate because at the beginning of Quarantine, I bought a pair of Work pants and hiking shoes and have worn them almost everyday.  They have stains, rips, a bleach spot, paint and my life displayed on them, and the story Jason tells is a beautiful. I didn't really know about Jason until I watched this. https://youtu.be/zL7SobTAnuQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Momoa This sums up Quarantine in a profound way for me. He embraces life and family. Ohana. This movie is worth the time it takes to watch. American and authentic. You may like this one too.

Friday 5/29 Weighing in: Nutrition, body image, and finding balance as a female athlete https://cyclingtips.com/2018/04/weighing-in-nutrition-body-image-and-finding-balance-as-a-female-athlete/ As a Mom of Girls I have seen two healthy girls with healthy outlooks on body image struggle with body image occasionally. I also struggled with this as an athlete in High School and College. I kept a food diary and exercise log. Both excellent ways to tune into your wellness.  This is good on Balance. Food is Fuel. I never weighed myself during high school and tried to maintain a diet very similar to before I became a serious cyclist. I stayed pretty healthy, but as I continued to make progress in my cycling career, I knew I wasn’t optimizing my diet for what I was asking my body to do. Becoming more engaged with my nutrition was initially driven by a desire to train harder. As my training load steadily increased, my diet hadn’t changed dramatically. I was still eating simil...
