The Last Word

March 12 – 16, 2018

Raise your kids to ask questions and they do.  Lots of questions.  Many many questions, many of which require you to decide something.  Emma lists every question and you could get tired just reading them.  Commenters also frazzled.

Michelle find a guy who sonifies weather data.  That is, he takes the numbers — temp, humidity, pressure, wind, rain, all the numbers — and turns them into sound, not music exactly but something more internal.

On a dig, Craig watches archeologists first discover, then backfill Native American remains. Then he tries describing what he sees and it turns out the only way is with poetry:  “Where I keep whispering, shhh, we were never here…”

Erik, man of science or at least science adjacent, dedicated to making decisions based on evidence and solid data, takes his little kid for childhood vaccinations and falls apart into a fear-ridden, emotional mess.

Oh my, Rebecca.  She looks for a word, can’t find one, makes up her own, a word we never knew we even needed but we do and more with each passing day, for the quality of grieving what’s not yet gone.
