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.

Wednesday 5/20 The Buddha said, “Better to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.” https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2018/02/22/how-buddha-became-popular-christian-saint MUSIC Boston Symphony Orchestra, home school among these,  Berlioz -  Roman Carnival Overture many to watch on you tube.  https://www.bso.org/brands/bso/at-home/bso-homeschool/bso-homeschool-lessons-week-7.aspx Every instrument, from the piano to the guitar to the  erhu  sounds different. 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 Perspective on this time from a New York Times Journalist ….”Whiplash. Going cold turkey. Zero to 60 except reversed. I have relied on a host of metaphors to think about my transition from perpetual motion to stillness, my world the size of a city block in many ways. It feels trivial to bemoan a temporary end to travel, but there’s more at stake than joy rides to a distant beach. We risk losing the connections we have spent centuries building with the world around us. With airplane fleets grounded and hotels shuttered, when travel resumes, there is no doubt it will look different.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/13/travel/missives-from-my-locked-down-friends-from-siberia-to-samarkand.html?campaign_id=24&emc=edit_tl_20200418&instance_id=17756&nl=travel-dispatch&regi_id=67240182&segment_id=25461&te=1&user_id=c54a3d3ff457b80d10f0624ed5bccb9d This link of interest below for negotiating in any situation, with kids especially.

It is so inspirational. https://www.ted.com/talks/theaster_gates_how_to_revive_a_neighborhood_with_imagination_beauty_and_art?language=en “All my life, I’d been prepared,” he says. “My mom would say: ‘If you’re not ready when opportunity comes, then shame on you, because it may not come twice.’” Theaster Gates Ted Talks Profile Personal profile Theaster Gates is a potter whose ambitions stretch far beyond the wheel and the kiln. In Chicago, his leadership of artist-led spaces has catalyzed interest and excitement in a formerly neglected neighborhood, as he uses culture as a transformational weapon.  Why you should listen Theaster Gates is helping to define the future of artistic place-based efforts, in research and practice.

Thursday 6/4 Tonight's Full Moon, Go to Google Images to read text. Song of the Moon Priscilla Jane Thompson Oh, a hidden power is in my breast,       A power that none can fathom;   I call the tides from seas of rest,   They rise, they fall, at my behest;   And many a tardy fisher’s boat,   I’ve torn apart and set afloat,        From out their raging chasm.   For I’m an enchantress, old and grave;         Concealed I rule the weather;   Oft set I, the lover’s heart a blaze,   With hidden power of my fulgent rays,   Or seek I the souls of dying men,   And call the sea-tides from the fen,       And drift them out together.   I call the rain from the mountain’s peak,       And sound the mighty thunder;   When I wax and wane from week to week,  The heavens stir...
