Most Underated

You may begin to notice I am veering off topic yet again today. But I am charmed by the discovery that New York Times Science Times section is not only educational, it is entertaining. Recently I have been disappointed in Dining, sarcastic at Styles, and appalled by Escapes. But today something interesting happened. I looked forward to reading the Science section.

And I was not let down! I learned that most people engage in some sort of "magical thinking" (which is a great turn of phrase!) I read about assisted migration, and became depressed about the state of wildlife on our planet, due to the effects of global warming. An essay by Natalie Angier, about time was charming. I have always been obsessed with time; in the seventh grade I actually did an oral report about it.

Most fascinating to me was an article about tapping the energy of heat buried in granite, a new and very common resource. It was so interesting, in fact, that I stopped reading it, and rushed over here, to write about it! And even better, I have articles about male contraception, finding color in space, and amnesia to look forward to. So much to read, so little time...

Tuesday is such a dull day, lacking the joie de vivre of Thursday, and the desolation of Monday. I am thrilled now to have something to look forward to! (It's the small things!)
