Brian Greene, a real hero.

Wow! I haven't driven after dark in the last three years. There doesn't seem to have been anything worth the stress of driving at night. But last night Brian Greene, the author of "The Elegant Universe" was speaking in Claremont, CA. That's too close to miss the chance to hear him live. It was worth it! Aside from being a leading authority on string theory, he is an entertaining speaker. Totally apart from all the college age young women in the audience. The talk was lively and informative. I've read his book but still there were things to learn. All in all it was worth the drive many times over. I was home by 10:30.
I thought there was to be an event at Historic Flabob Airport today but checking the Internet I found it was LAST WEEK! It was a gathering of Stardust builders which is an aerobatic stressed biplane. The original Stardust kits were sold out of the Far West hangar, which is where I finished 'The Sound Of Freedom" before I flew it to my incident.
Making the 471st entry in this blog reminds me that we're all on this flight together.
