It had been a while and we had had a bunch of plans and ideas including music reviews, a book club to discuss The Road, and a bunch of other things we’d not gotten to or simply forgotten about. Clearly, we haven’t done any of these. So we leaned into our standby, a series of 10 questions from each of us, each with spur of the moment answers and discussion. Hold out until the end and you can share in the thoughtful consideration of how to wear sandals and in what circumstances: “I’ve done that to take the trash out,” declares Reed.
A few show notes and deeper dives:
- Here’s an essay by Brian Doyle about hearts, hummingbirds’ and blue whales’ both. You should read this.
- The mass of a blue whale might be something like 100,000 kg, and the mass of a hummingbird might be something like 0.010 kg. A human mass might be around 100 kg on the upper end. So, roughly, the mass of a blue whale is around 1000 times as much as a person, but that same person would be 10,000 times as massive as a hummingbird.
- This is what Ben Folds sounds like, playing a live solo version of Landed.
- Here’s a bit more coffee education regarding cappuccinos.
