Sunday = A Fight For The Remote
It's Sunday - the weekend - and that means Luky wants the remote so he can keep clicking back to C-Span2-BookTV. I was cleaning up from guests last evening (we watched a DVD - one of my favorite themes: "Time Travel + Love" - Happy Accidents with Marisa Tomei and Vincent D'Onofrio - highly recommended for anyone who likes Sci-Fi with intelligent, non-monster, conceptually challenging plots . . . Luky skipped it when he found out the protagonist is afraid of dogs).
So, I was straightening up and Luky was watching BookTV. He was engrossed with the presentation by one of his current heroes - Cornell University Professor of Astronomy and Principal Scientific Investigator for the Mars Exploration Rover Project, Steven Squyres. Squyres is the engaging and articulate emcee of most of those Rover press conferences and he's written a book about his Mars adventure - Roving Mars, (http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/Aug05/Squyres.roving.lg.html).
What can I say? Luky has several intellectual areas of pursuit and interest. What is it about Malamutes that makes them so philosophical? Luky says it's because they have short lives - they have to do lots of thinking real fast! Anyway, I have noticed that Luky's intellectual hobbies have a few things in common - at least they focus on issues that lend themselves to truth and honesty. In other words he's not real big on horoscopes or new age religion.
I have to get back to the fight over the remote now. The kitchen is cleaned up and The Outer Limits is on a competing channel.
