I just came back from an endoscopy and a colonscopy. The alien implanted egg is doing great, and... it's a Queen! Hurray! Translation for the humor-impaired: I'm fine. It was just one of those exams you get when you reach your fifties.
Occasionally I'm asked how I reconcile being both a physicist and a Wiccan. My answer is long and I think most people find it tedious. But in today's Writer's Almanac, I learned that William Blake expressed it much more succinctly: You don’t believe by William Blake You don't believe — I won't attempt to make ye. You…

It was a pleasant enough dream (no, there weren't any radiant fruits of passion), but I always find dreaming about her to be unsettling. Oh well, it's over.…
Today (July 4) is Neil Simon's birthday: "If you can go through life without ever experiencing pain, you probably haven't been born yet. And if you've gone through pain and think you know exactly why, you haven't examined all the options."
