Quick hit: “My mom has a PhD in math”

Just watched the women’s kayak slalom finals, and think it’s definitely one of the sports that would be enhanced by watching a regular person try it first. I would probably drown.

My mother had never mentioned before today that her graduation speaker in 1968 was… Herbert Humphrey. It didn’t go well. timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine...

Yep. It’s helpful but today shows how useful it would be for them to have a serious competitor. Things would be better today if a few of us were running Pepsi rather than Coke…

I really want to try them, but maybe not this: “One of the chain’s early marketing coups was the gigatacos challenge. The customer pays 18€ for a five-and-a-half-pound tacos, filled with five different meats (merguez sausage, ground beef, chicken nuggets, grilled chicken, and chicken cordon bleu).”

It was published in 1979 and it’s a satire of the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb and the whole hullabaloo when it came to the Met. I have a used copy, might give it a read tonight!

That’s from one of my favorite books! “Motel of the Mysteries” by David Macauley, who also wrote “Castle” etc. Check it out of a library, there are many additional hilarious bits.

He told me you were related and the story was just weird enough that I couldn’t tell whether it was true or he was sick of hearing about it and just having fun messing with me.

I would have loved to but had an unavoidable schedule conflict—you’ll see someone else from Penn there, though. I got myself so enthusiastic about continuing from Gotenburg to Norway that I’m going on an unrelated trip to Norway in a few weeks when I’m free…

Last year I attended the 30th anniversary concert for Flood (with my original friends from 1990 😍) and my brain practically short-circuited because everyone looked a bit like a librarian and I kept thinking “do I know them?”

Mine doesn’t let me type contractions like couldnt would y or should y. That should be “shouldn’t”. Don’t can’t won’t are all okay. Is “wouldn’t” too complicated a locution for the iPhone? It’s maddening as it seems to correct slower than I type so I’ve often sent the incoherent text before I notice

Not particularly. He did three years of college before they decided to just graduate ‘em all because they were leaving anyway to join the military in 1943. (I haven’t been to the Skatium in years! Can’t believe it’s still there.)

Yay! The Gods of Max have decided to give us sports, so now I can watch the Phillies, instead of trying to judge how things are going based on listening through open windows for distant roars from the southeast.
