I hope yours is off to a wonderful start! Here is some great news to get your weekend off right. We’re very close to beating death forever. That will mean, of course, that some of you will have to go. If I’m going to have enough food to last me for the rest of eternity, there are far too many of us to share the earth. Take comfort though, dear reader, that if you continue to be a loyal reader, I will save you too. Maybe not all your kin, but if your family is like most, you’re probably okay with that. (Also, my Orioles friends will be saved. I can’t suffer more centuries of the Os losing alone, can I?)

Here is the Nova Science Now [1] episode on epigenetics. Fascinating and very encouraging stuff!! Any day now someone will fix my jimmy legs. Any day now…

May we, all three of us, live peaceably together during our long future journey on this beautiful planet.
