Interesting

Today we touched on . . .
Mark Twain
H.G. Wells (listened to the opening of War of the Worlds and discussed fact vs. fiction and marketing)
Charles Williams
The Inklings
Arthurian Legend
King Artus and the Hebrew translation of the Arthurian legends from Italian, from Old French
Horse tack terminology for fine driving
Seasonality of produce
Johannes Kepler
Dolbears Law (which I have been falsely attributing to Kepler for years)
Kepler's Laws
Ivanhoe
Jewish persecution in London in the early 1800s
Serendipity
Archetypes
Time machines (back to H.G Wells--my goodness he was influential--we named all the works we have encountered that use the time machine as a plot device)

Then we had lunch, Evie went to play, Scott and I went to play, we met up again later. Aikido, cooking, planning--interesting.
