ON THIS DAY On March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein is born, the son of a Jewish electrical engineer in Ulm, Germany. Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity drastically altered human understanding of the universe, and his work in particle and energy theory helped make possible quantum mechanics and, ultimately, the atomic bomb. |
|
WORD OF THE DAY: Gallivant means “to go or travel to many different places for pleasure.” // She spent her gap year gallivanting around Europe with her best friend.

Now, to wrap up for this Beaver Island Tuesday… |

Here’s a thought for the day from Albert Einstein, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
On a lighter note My math teacher once asked me if I could recite Pi? I said sure, Apple, Peach, pecan, pumpkin and I love me some lemon meringue. .
