Yankees 9, Red Sox 0 My Red Sox didn't bring their bats or their relief pitching to game one of the playoffs and got their butts kicked. But, it isn't over. I have faith that the Red Sox can come back and even the series tomorrow. Go Red Sox! #baseball #redsox #mlb #sports #boston

Today is officially Mid-Autumn Festival. I met my wife at a Mid-Autumn Festival in 1985. We will go out for a nice dinner tomorrow night to celebrate 41 years together. Wishing you all find joy in spending time with family. Eat some moon cake, light a lantern, and be healthy and prosperous.

I wonder what the implications are for learning science with this revelation that we have two brains.

I took a selfie with my grandson on the Dumbo ride at Hong Kong Disneyland. My son is adopting this five year old from Thailand after marrying his mom. We are thrilled to welcome them both into the family.

Look, my wife bought faucet condoms. They don’t prevent pregnancy but they will filter out dirt in your water. Our water is very clean but you can never be too careful.

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

A friend from Orlando posted this sunrise photo on Facebook. It's such a great shot I couldn't resist borrowing it to share here. Have great day!

A rare rainbow in Hong Kong this morning. There was a faint one in the same spot and same time of day a couple of days ago. It seems someone is trying to send a message and was concerned it didn’t get through the other day. I am listening and hopeful that it is a good omen.

Happy Independence Day from Hong Kong. We do the best we can to feel American today. Got my Stars and Stripes shirt on eating a burger and fries with a chocolate shake. I don’t eat like this often so it feels special on a special occasion. Cheers!

On July 4, 1976, I was a teenager and played the drum in a fife and drum corp for the Bicentennial Independence Day celebration. It was in a small, rural town in Western Massachusetts. The whole town came out. A different time in America. The image is AI generated just to remember that day.

Saying good night to my BlueSky friends with this incredible sight. On June 31, a rare 22-degree solar halo appeared above Devils Tower in Wyoming. The ring formed as sunlight passed through millions of tiny hexagonal ice crystals, creating one of nature's most beautiful optical displays.

A 7th grader ordered pizza at school. David Bryan's first instinct: "No." The kid's response: "But... why?" He couldn't answer. The pizza stayed. 🍕 Many school rules exist for no one's benefit. And once you realize you can question them, everything changes. youtu.be/FjrsBFA9GG4

Bigfoot in China. On our recent trip we passed through an area that is famous for over 400 reported sightings of Yeren (野人), which literally translates to "Wildman." It is a hairy creature said to stand 6 - 7 feet tall. Despite large rewards offered, no proof of existence has ever been found.

Most students look at a grade and move on. But what if we taught them to ask: What does it tell me about how I learn? That's the heart of metacognition — and it's a game changer. I sat down with Nathan Burns, one of the UK's leading metacognition experts, and we went deep. youtu.be/a0PbLqjqLmE

Devil’s Slide in San Francisco. We had another beautiful sunny day although it was very windy along the cliffs. The geology is fascinating as much of the rock is striated almost vertically and there’s much variation in the stone. Ever color from white to black.
