My most recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Schroedinger's Cat Paradox:

A 75 Year Old Feline with More than Nine Lives

On my way to work, my mind was on the go, go, go! I'm a person thatbelieves in signs, if you will. Sometimes, these signs are shown to meon actual signs. I spend a lot of time reading, even when driving; I'mreading the signs/billboards along the way and then playing letter/wordgames, it keeps my mind occupied....especially because I haven't had aworking radio in my car for years now lol.

Thoughts spill from my mind

Melodies and harmonies working together

To create the…

Doo bee doo bee doo.

A rama lama ding dong.

Oo ee oo ah ah.

Our lives move forward

Ever accelerating;

Suddenly stopping.

Geese fly overhead,

Their V pointed to the south.

Don't stand underneath.
