Had a lovely 2.5 mile walk around the neighborhood today and was pleased to meet one of our neighbors we rarely see at midday. She has 3 kittens that we see scampering about at sunset, but they weren’t out at noon.
Carolyn and I are decked out in black and white for the ART performance of #BlackSwan.
I also scored 19/20. It is interesting that a 5% error rate puts us in the top 11%, which suggests that the results are not normally distributed.
I scored 19/20 on MIST-20, better than 89% of the US population. Test your misinformation susceptibility now! What is #YourMIST? 🧐 yourmist.streamlit.app #misinformation #fakenews
I think the worst thing about writing a book is 1) I have many things that need doing that aren’t sitting in front of my computer, and 2) having to sit down and write anyway. It makes me feel guilty if I do it and guilty if I don’t.
I finished drafting chapter 14 of my book, Our Last Renovation, so I feel like I've accomplished something today. If you're interested in reading how we renovated our home to age in place, you can follow along at carlhowe.com/our-last-renova…. I hope to finish the book by summer.

Went to the Boston Opera House to see &Juliet for the 5th time last night and we are going again tonight. Go see it for a joyous Shakespearean evening of singing, dancing, and being able to make our own choices. #AndJuliet

How can we have had record turnout and twenty million fewer votes cast nationally?
We are about to leave the Diesta del Pilar in Zaragoza, Spain. It has been amazing to see more than 100,000 people bring flowers to this plaza and build this tribute to their Madonna.
I think someone left their iPhone in Starliner and is invoking the Find My app to locate it.
🚨#BREAKING: Boeing's Starliner crew are reporting hearing strange "sonar like noises" emanating from the spacecraft
📌#OuterSpace | #Earth
Crews on the International Space Station are trying to identify the source of strange noises reported by Boeing’s Starliner crew, who contacted Mission Control saying, ‘Houston, on two, we have a question about Starliner. We are hearing strange noises coming from the speaker, and we don’t know what’s causing it.’ The Starliner began emitting these ‘strange sonar noises,’ and astronauts on the ISS are working to diagnose the issue, which occurred on Saturday. Since the launched by Boeing on June 5th, the Starliner has faced several problems and significant challenges, temporarily stranding two astronauts. Due to safety concerns, Boeing’s Starliner is set to return on September 6th with no crew on board.
