An unusually warm May day had me out in the kayak today, early this year, in time to see the jellyfish bloom.

I spent a while just floating and watching the moon jellies, and thinking about time and the persistence of the Earth and its creatures, and of what matters.

And, in that vein, I’m going to share a picture I took of one of the little jellies, and then take the night off and get to bed before the clock hits double digits.

We can pick up the world again tomorrow.

Good job professor. I have learned from you, that history is measured in years, decades, and centuries. But life, i know, is enjoyed by the day.

You are so diligent and important. You deserve more days off than you take.
