Hey! I just realized 2021 came and went, and we didn't get that underwater research base we were promised. 🥽🦈 [as]

[3/3] There is just absolutely no way I'm not buying one of those amazing bottles AND asking him if he'd be OK with me picking it up to hang out and chat.

I just have to get the book so I can have more things to talk to him about. 😁

To be continued...

[2/3] And you know what? It IS the same guy!

When I looked him up, this website where he sells glass Klein Bottles came up. So cool.

BUT it gets better! He says that if you'd like to stop by for coffee and a chat, to call him. And where does he live? 20 minutes away from me! 😱

[1/3] I was reading a story on Hacker News about a network intrusion and how the guy found the culprit. One of the comments said it reminded them of "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Cliff Stoll. 📖

I was like, wait a minute, is that the same Cliff Stoll from Numberphile? I love his videos!

Update: They refused to watch it. I have failed as a parent. 😭

Apparently my kids have never seen the video for Beyoncé's 🎵 "All The Single Ladies". 💍 I'm about to correct this travesty. If they don't love it, I will remove them from my will. 📃

There's a group of five of us Hispanic, middle-aged, early riser regulars at the gym. I'm thinking about inviting them to start a group called: "Cuarentones Madrugadores" (Roughly, "Forty-Something Early Birds". Sounds way cooler in Spanish, trust me).

May you do good and not evil.
May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others.
May you share freely, never taking more than you give.

One year ago today. Time flies. 😢

Hanging out with the neighborhood kids at the park, got a meditation session in. 🧘🏽‍♂️ They got interested in what I was doing. I briefly considered giving them a little lesson, but I doubt they'd be into it.
