back to the museum

It was a sunny gorgeous day, today; naturally, I took Kenny to the museum.

I wanted to see the new Maya exhibit, and he wanted to see the dinosaurs. We did both, to the satisfaction of neither I imagine.

Fun fact: according to the ROM, there's nowhere in the Maya calendar that talks about Dec 23, 2012 being the end of the world. Just the end of the current era; the Mayans even had references to dates past the popular "end of the world" date.

Kenny concluded our visit by saying, "I like the musimin." (his word for "museum").

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.
