Back in the 70s it may well have been.

Paul has the least listenable solo oeuvre of all the Beatles. I’d rank them John, George, Ringo, Paul.

So the Nobel people invited Danny Ocean to perform at the peace prize ceremony and don’t these people ever go to the movies? The performance is a distraction from the heist being pulled off by the other 7–12 oceans on his crew.

Got my very first “I enjoyed reading your work” email¹ today and man, it feels good.

If you read something that you like, send an email to the author, they will appreciate it.


1. Excluding ones that came in response to my sending an email to someone published in the same journal as me.

There’s something weird going on here. It’s not a simple image. I tried sending it to my daughter’s iPad and it didn’t copy nicely into messages and when I saved the image into photos (my usual trick when that happens), it comes out looking REALLY weird).

Well it doesn’t help that the reading for today describes the annunciation.

Annual reminder on the feast of the Immaculate Conception that “Immaculate Conception” refers to the conception of Mary, not Jesus.¹


1. The fact that today’s Gospel is about Jesus’s conception doesn’t help with this misconception.²
2. So to speak.

We also need to straighten the interstates so they form a proper grid. None of this West is North East is South bullshit like we have on the south side of Chicago. All interstates must go straight north-south or east-west. If we really wanted to, we could make this happen.
