In the tenth year of Yuanhe I was banished and demoted to be assistant official in Jiujiang. In the summer of the next year I was seeing a friend leave Penpu and heard in the midnight from a neighbouring boat a guitar played in the manner of the capital. Upon inquiry, I found that the player had formerly been a dancing-girl there and in her maturity had been married to a merchant. I invited her to my boat to have her play for us. She told me her story, heyday and then unhappiness. Since my departure from the capital I had not felt sad; but that night, after I left her, I began to realize my banishment. And I wrote this long poem -- six hundred and twelve characters.

I was bidding a guest farewell, at night on the Xunyang River,
Where maple-leaves and full-grown rushes rustled in the autumn.

Those of you who have followed my blogs on Einstein and Physics theory will recall that I frequently referenced CERN which is an international project near Geneva Switzerland which has as it's goal the re-creation of the conditions of the Big Bang.

The project, planned for years, first fired up in 2008 with mixed results and limited power and problems with the gigantic magnets which accelerate the particles. But, the multi-billion dollar project has drawn fire as the most dangerous tinkering in the history of the world and has been described as a threat to the entire planet. Lawsuits seeking to enjoin its operations have been filed.

75 Years D-Day on 5 June 2019....
Due to bad weather General Eisenhower commanded (based upon the advice of the 25-years experienced weatherman in Portsmouth)on 4 June THIS DAY must be delayed by 1 DAY, so D-DAY became 6 June 1944, since they departed in the evening of the 5th June and arrived early in the morning at the 6th of June 1944.

Now it's April 30 and I'm back from my extended 'fun' trip overseas.

I woke up late this morning, my phone was dead. I guess I never plugged it in, I found it buried under my pillow (erah!) . I barely had time for anything, just managing to cover the basics as the 'Whoop' sound signaled my first virtual classroom opening. A pop-up announced that the class would be recorded and available later. 'Yessss! ' I thought, as I put in my airpods.

My room is surprisingly full of houseplants. There's a ponytail palm, an anthurium and philodendrons sending down tendrils of heart-shaped leaves from shelves and tables. I drew open my curtains and the room bloomed, morning sunny. It was 22° but my windows are almost always cracked open to let in some real air.
