Lions Win the Superbowl!

Intelligence and Weirdness Are Not Correlates
I’m studying at Panera Bread today and just overheard two employees talking about a third person. One of them said, “She’s really smart, but weird. A lot of smart people are strange, you know, like, eccentric.”
Not in my experience. In my experience, smart people aren’t weird and not-so-smart people aren’t weird. Weird people are weird.

Celebrate This Milestone with Me

Not much to see here, yet, but I hope you’ll stay tuned. There is certainly more to come; I’ll be adding back some of the old stuff as time allows. Thanks for your interest.
