Ed sends me stuff from his online newspaper reading all the time. A lot of times, I could take it or leave it.
This time, it made me cry. I’ve pasted the original below (it’s relatively short) as well as a link.

My dad would occasionally bring home bubble wrap when I was a kid - just for me. It was always a real treat. The fun of popping bubble wrap – the challenge on hard bubbles, the dissapointment on pfft bubbles…simple good fun. It was always painful when the sheet was all popped – no more fun.

By now you’ve likely heard of the large scale “flash mob” type improv performances at places like Grand central station (where folks break into song/sound or just freeze). Turns out, this was likely organized by the group Improv Everywhere.

I am totally overwhelmed at work. No time for ANYthing.
So what does it take to get me to write a blog post?
This: Save the Words (by Oxford – the dictionary folks)
Oh man. Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man.
I had to tear myself away. “Pick me” indeed.
Laws of collective organization (math geek stuff)

My brother is a found metal sculptor – he works primarily in Iron and wood, and does some casting as well.
Today Ed found an article on an artist in the UK doing hubcap sculptures – my brother would LOVE these!
