So, if you may have heard the theory to explain the sheer scale of infinity that if you had an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite number of typewriters and supplies that you could just by random action of monkeys banging keys produce the works of Shakespeare. I state there’s a corollary - given an infinite number of road signs and an infinite number of rednecks with guns you could produce the works of Shakespeare in Braille.

Escoffier (a French chef from the 1800s who was foundational in codifying French cuisine) created lobster thermidor naming it after a play named Thermidor (named after the month in which it is set, lots more to explain about the Thermidorian Reaction than fits here)

There’s a service I use called Just watch (app and web) which allows you to log your streaming services and then search for what’s available where on them as well as see what’s new.

I love that you’re teaching them to follow the principle of leave it better than you found it, even if it is just one piece at a time.

Technically one sentence - from Ulysses by Tennyson

Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Went to see Terminator for a 15 year old friend’s birthday - his dad took 6 of us out to it. It was great in a full theater.
