HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRADEN!!

This morning i accompanied B=mc^2 & f(Na)=Ah to the Karpeles manuscript museum, which is having an exhibition of Einstein manuscripts (with a Newton & a Faraday thrown in), very apropos for B's b-day. Very interesting stuff, especially what the - umm - eager to inform curator took out of the back room to show us, which included some kind of manifest from the Titanic, the actual arrest record of Josef Stalin w/ picture, and CS Lewis's original notes as to Narnia's internal timeline, mapped out in comparison with ours from 1901 - 1940 (e.g. 1 narnia time, Aslan creates world: 1901 earth time, something something whatever). I think the guy was really happy to have visitors. He just kept talking, though fortunately just about everything he said was interesting. He kept saying "usually I can't/don't do/show/talk about this," like when he took out the 3000 yr old (?) little burial figuring inscribed with magical formula ("ubashti?") and let us hold it. Guess we looked trustworthy. Anyway, free admission, so (as he asked us to) I encourage everybody I know to come on by.

Any old way, party tonight, all are invited.
