Happy International (and domestic) Women's Day and special nods to the GBC women who have been tremendous friends and supporters. As entrepreneurs, engineers, attorneys, actors, philanthropists, volunteers, and business leaders, you inspire the next group of girls who are framing their "what I want to be is..."

With the thought that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it, I wanted to share this list from The Guardian of Lloyd Shepherd's top 10 weird histories. Let me just set the expectation that this list does include zombies, math puzzles, Stephen King, deep waters and boarding schools. Oh my, indeed.

To the Next Life
For several of us in the GBC it was a sad weekend of news. When pondering the hard questions and questioning the Universe, I sometimes find answers in poetry. These last few days, I turned to music instead. (I also paid my first Rocket City library fine which I hope evens up something in the small scale of karmic day-to-day activity.)
My go-to song this week has been "People Like You" by The Bad Plus. This melody never fails to move me. For those of you not as familiar with the band, you can get a preview of the song from NPR at the 28:00 minute mark of "Live at the Village Vanguard"

Sunday Notes
For those of you who were wondering what would happen to all the books, this link in the NYT gives a little hope to anyone who likes preserving the past (albeit in gigantic storage units).
For those of you who just want to know Why Does E=mc2, Brian Cox tries to shed a little light.
It's all relative.

I Left my Heart in ...

Today's photo brought to you from my "Snapshots of Bridges through Car Windshields, Sometimes While Driving" series. Sometimes, you see the most extraordinary things when you're coming out of a tunnel.
