Passage of Time (NOT)



Some say that time passes
though I spent a lot of
time in school looking out the
window & never saw time
passing [n]or even time stan-
ding still.

Fermi on Measurement



I read the Fermi talked about
how measurement becomes more
critical as [the] distinction becomes
less between things.

Here are two men. They
are identical twins. One is
a winner and the other a
loser. Why?

Sharing Computers



My wife & I thought we
could share our first computer
in 1984. It only worked for a
few months until we realize
d that we needed "separate but
equal" machines.

Mine    Mine

2 pt. perspective

Since right now we are traveling and don't have an internet connection and only have one computer... she said, "it doesn't feel like we are sharing yet."

More on Cezanne's ?Death?



My sister thought Cezanne
was dead, confusing him w/
both Mikaelangelo & Pablo.

Reports of
my demise
are gr-

eatly exagerat-
ed. My
art lives.

I was listening to the audio recording at the Cezanne exhibit and one of the people speaking on the recording (the curator of the exhibit) was also there in the gallery taking through a couple of rich folks. I listened to his voice on both the recording and in the gallery at the same time.

Visiting Cezanne



I went to see Cezanne,
the man who leaped to
modern times.

I heard the audio recording at the museum. The curator who was speaking on the recording was taking around a very rich man and his wife. So I heard two sides of him. Very eerie.

Here's why I retired . . . (exclusive)



I retired so I'd wake up one day &
wonder what I was going to do.
That was over one million seconds
ago, and still it hasn't happened.
