25(!) years ago today, 10 days after 9/11. The world had changed, so the Monday after I asked Kit to marry me, and five days later we did it. We’re still having adventures together. Happy Anniversary, sweetie! Tomorrow starts the next 25.

Sunday Reading - You can enjoy this one for the amazing photos of ice-climbing. OR you can read about a neat rescue story. Why not both? From 2007, with photos by me.

This Week’s Story of the week is Farce imitating Art, and Crime imitating Farce ...in that order. Posted here for easy sharing, and the photo in the newsletter is much larger (and includes the one released in Canada). Basic subscriptions are free at the web site, as always — since 1994!

I made this in 2016 when my wife and I decided to stop flying, despite being "Priority" level on United, because we were treated so badly. Our flying dropped by about 95%, and has stayed very rare since.

An interesting Honorary Unsubscribe this week: Mary Tsingou was a very early computer programmer who didn’t seek credit ...and didn’t get it until much, much later when someone noticed well-known men overlooked her. There’s a lot packed into 3 minutes of reading.
