Hey guys....
bizarrozero:

Thanks, kids. Your support means lots to me.

Mom: love you. More than you’ll ever know.

We lost Mom in March just shy of her 67th birthday.
I had so much to say, but I am suddenly at a loss for words.
Suffice it to say that I am celebrating mothers day by watching The mets blow a lead, and likely ordering challah French toast from Odessa on avenue a in memorium.

zachlinder:
Some people have referred to Wagner’s Ring Cycle as the single greatest work of art ever created. A bold statement to be sure, but listening to this Radiolab special gives decent background and clarity on it.
