Long ago I saw an interview (60 Minutes) with acting coach Stella Adler, a student of Stanislawski. When she him asked about finding purpose in life he replied, “don’t do this. To find your true path, find something you like, and do it like Hercules”.

Math is my path, not a job. It is me.

My first post would of course be of my dear departed Desert Kitty, who found the entirety of humanity and its cultural achievements to be … laughable.

I would drop a blue heart if I knee how all this works. Presumably an actual bot is AI driven and would know how to do that. At any rate I can vouch for Patti, we used to work together, and is most likely a human. Some have doubts about me.

… unless those rapids you hear around the corner are actually a 1000 foot waterfall :-)

Beautiful! Fond memories of my early days at JPL, working at the ground data processing section (384) at the lab. I was in my second year there when Voyager 2 made its flyby of Neptune. It was humbling, to think we were the first people on earth to see this. www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/30-year...

I especially like how they captured the tail of the black cat that got to the top.🐈‍⬛
