Outlaw Country is a favorite for me on Sirius/XM, although for the last half year I have been oddly living on the classical music channel. I have really grown fond of it, much better in the car than news (which I have quit since October or so except for newspapers and other written sources).
Going healthy today, chocolate chip muffins.
Last of the corned beef tonight for St. Patty's day.
About a decade ago there was a great Dalai Lama dining story in the New Yorker. He was in town being feted left and right, they had some very nice meals for him, all vegetarian of course...alas, Tibet (being at the altitude it is) is NOT a place that is widely vegetarian, nor is the Dalai Lama...so he got back to his room at the Waldorf and ordered up a big juicy steak.
I have a group of friends that gets together and smokes cigars, drinks beer, eats massive quantities of meat and discusses politics about every 6 weeks or so. We have done this for 5 years or so, even socially distanced during the pandemic. They never cease to be amazed that I am completely unaware of this music. I am basically the classic rock version of Nell.
I had a roommate at Duke who tripled in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and computer science. He left high school a year early because he had completely exhausted the science and math curriculum (at the NC School of Science and Math, no less!). He finished his biomedical engineering PhD last week, but he has no high school diploma.
I know and work with a lot of folks like this in medicine. LOVE doing anatomy and physiology/Physics lectures for these folks. Basically as soon as I diagram it out on the whiteboard, they understand it better than I do anyway. They are generally not particularly skilled at communicating, however, and I once told one of these guys he seemed particularly gregarious that day because he was able to look at the tops of the other guy's shoes as he mumbled his answers in rounds.
