I suddenly noticed the absence of Thomas the tank engine videos in our home. It must have been two years since one of those played, maybe more. With the kids now 11 and 7 years old I shouldn't be surprised. What else is now out of our life? The "Cars" movies, thank god.

Sadly, I think it's also time to sell our "Weehoo" trailer. With both kids riding independently, no need for the bike trailer even if it was by far the best on the market.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
