Assorted Stuff

For the past eight years or so the National Air and Space Museum,1 the most popular Smithsonian site in DC, has been undergoing a major renovation.

The new academic year began this week here in the overly-large school district.

Over the 23 years I’ve been ranting in this space, one of my regular targets has been the writings of Jay Mathews.

Tonight my wife is in downtown DC – for the first of three very hot, humid nights – to do the annual PBS program, A Capitol Fourth.

Earlier this month, I spent a long weekend running around and photographing Pittsburgh.

Earlier this month, we canceled the cable TV.

By my count, schools are currently working through their fourth attempt at banning cell phones.

As I mentioned in the previous entry, I recently spent ten day running around London (with a day trip to Cambridge, because why not?)

About a month ago, I landed at Heathrow Airport to begin a ten-day visit to London.

In addition to curiosity about the No Kings protests, some recent articles about research/surveys also had me thinking about social media.
