“Uncle Jim. How does the Moon make the tides?”

From “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan 1997 Spend all your time waiting For that second chance For a break that would make it okay There's always some reason To feel not good enough

Tonight I am alone. And it sucks.

“… do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

I’m lost in the murky black, The uselessness holds me down. But, from somewhere I hear “you’re not finished” I know, the day is dawning And I’ve still got hope. But, reality sets in… questioning Fragility overwhelms me Paranoia drains me “I’m not finished.” Loss, loneliness, pain, pressure, And fear make it all seem futile. But, “I’m not finished.” Cruelty, carelessness, and lack Can I go on? I must. “I’m not finished.” Is it possible? Can I go on? Can I? Dare I? “Yes” I hear… “because there is a dawn.” And, I am not finished. (Image by @grok)

Dad Joke #274 I used to be a banker, but I lost interest. Now I’m a baker and I have plenty of bread! Good night X!

A city-sized asteroid will skim closer to Earth than some satellites on April 13, 2029. It will not hit us — but a NASA spacecraft is already racing to meet it. Sign up for Dr. Erica Jawin’s Book A Scientist session to hear how Apophis’s flyby will shake, spin, and reshape a 370-meter near-Earth asteroid — and how OSIRIS-APEX (the former OSIRIS-REx spacecraft) will rendezvous afterward to map those changes up close.

11:00 AM EDT / 8:00 AM PDT / 3:00 PM UTC
Register: bookascientist.com During the Q&A session you can engage the scientist who studies rubble-pile worlds and sits on the OSIRIS-APEX team. Seats are filling up. Don’t miss the closest known advance look at this potentially hazardous asteroid of this size.

I can handle them myself, but thanks.

One of my favorite projects:

During a video recording session on Thursday, I was given “my mark.” Zoom in to read the note:

One Dad joke before bed. Why don’t eggs tell jokes? Because they’d crack each other up. Goodnight X.
