Closing thoughts on April 16th as I go to bed? No. Not really. I’m tired.

I watched Apollo 13 for the first time last night and was imagining how much worse it would be if it were made now.

Oh, for sure!

On international women's day it is good to look at the whole world, I suppose! But I'm not assuming that these numbers represent my, say, students or Gen Z staff, because they're averaged with responses from India & Malaysia, for example. Or in this example, Poland & Chile.

Gen Z across the 29 countries surveyed are not all right. There are some pretty huge differences in responses by country but it isn't broken down by age for every country.

Concurrence Each day's terror, almost a form of boredom--madmen at the wheel and stepping on the gas and the brakes no good-- and each day one, sometimes two, morning-glories, faultless, blue, blue sometimes flecked with magenta, each lit from within with the first sunlight.
