I'm listening to "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman." It's great fun.
If you're ever challenged in a rest room, try Richard Feynman's method to intimidate your intimidator: "Get out of my way, or I'll pee right through you!" It didn't work -- he got in a fight anyway -- but it dissolved me into laughter, so it's worth a try on your adversary. If they're at all intellectual, they'll probably be distracted contemplating how you might do that to a person.Labels: Titter

I was disinclined to take many photos this year because of the miserable weather. My camera got so wet that the LCD screen no longer works. Tom was not daunted though, and KineticBaltimore.com has a full selection. Labels: Kinetics
