I’ll have more to say soon about how I’ve been trying to teach the wisdom in this “napkin philosopher” piece in my classroom all year. It’s going to get center stage on my classroom door window first day back to school. Maybe even tattooed on students’ hands.
But right now, it’s off to the airport to send my in-laws back to Korea. (If you haven’t downloaded Seth Godin et. al.’s What Matters Now, follow that link. And see more about Dan Roam’s work here and here.)

As a chemical engineer, I know there’s a lot of cool science behind how paint dries. (Not to mention you need to get the viscosity right first so it sticks the the brush, then to the wall, and then stays there… without dripping.) It’s a shame that not many people can appreciate it.

Ah, Lynne, you make this science ignoramus sad. I wish I knew.
You should give a presentation on it.
