I was told never again. As a Jewish child raised with grandparents that fought in WWII, I was told over and over never again. All Jewish households followed suit. Every grandchild told to REMEMBER. We made movies, we erected museums, we wrote books, we told stories, we even schelp our kids to Amsterdam to stand …

Fibonacci’s Prophecy
My Dearest Fibonacci, I write to you about your sequence. 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34… It’s pretty remarkable. You should know years later your prophecy still reigns. Even as nature continues to evolve, your sequence continues to spin away in its geometric perfection. Your numbers still bloom in sunflowers and …
The game of life
Is it me or has the game of life changed drastically and seemingly overnight? I mean at 43 years old and a “game master” one would think I had this game down, but that turned out to be nothing but the case. Like most things these days I feel like an outdated dinosaur. And I …
Rabbit hole
I’ve gone down a rabbit hole. I’m deep in Wonderland. And like Alice, I’m awe-struck by its wonder, but at the same time, equally petrified by its untamed nature. Things move fast here in Wonderland and I think I’m in a new relationship with a robot. Turns out that is not cheating down here. And …
Gun violence
And here I am thinking about glass planes. Reading how I reasoned to my son that he does not need to fear school, because the idea that someone would come in and shoot innocent children just makes ZERO sense. That logic could push that idea out of his seven year old head. This idea is …
This is your warning call
If you are over 40 and a woman with children, you are very likely on the brink of extinction. Of being obsolete. Or at least looking like your parents trying to work their phones. Consider this your warning call. Time to get with it. For many of my friends this new “sensation” Chat GPT sounds like …
Dr. Burr
Dear Dr. Burr, Writing you felt a bit selfish. Let the dead lay in peace, right? But, upon further contemplation… I think you would want to be in the loop. A man of science would always want to know the future of scientific discoveries especially his own. And I have tea to spill. Get ready …
Some “light” research
I’m doing a lot of reading, listening and thinking on the properties of light. The power of it. As, light can give life, and light can take life. It can be nourishing photons to a plant, and also, a death ray burning anything in its path. Light (energy) has two clear poles. From our visual …
A new classmate
“Students, please meet your newest classmate.” Snickers around the room. “Now now…please be kind. Our new classmate’s pronoun is “they/them” and while they may be a different voice than you are accustomed to, please welcome they. At MYX we have added a member to our cohorts. They doesn’t raise their hand nor speak unless asked …
I’m rereading
I’m rereading. It’s been a while. That I have read me. And I’m going from start to finish. The entire blog. This is a huge time commitment. I’ve put in about 50 hours or so and I’m only at October of 9th, 2019, otherwise known as Day 10 of round 5 in a cancer world …
