So update your Twitter and Facebook status with good things and spread the love!
No conclusive info about when you’re down, although I know that’s as good a people repellant as B.O.

Is your life dedicated to one epic goal on a scale of a space shuttle launch?
The New York Times reports that after 20 years and $20 million, Michel Fournier - now 64 years old - is ready to complete his goal to fall to earth.
“Fournier’s jump can set four records: fastest free fall, longest free fall, highest altitude for a human balloon flight and highest parachute jump.”
Read about The Big Jump…and let it inspire you to think how far you’ll go—and what you’re willing to give up to give up—for your biggest goal!
Imagine the disappointment after preparing for years to do something when, for whatever reason, it cannot come to fruition. Now imagine how you can avoid disappointment.
In the process of preparing for the Big Jump, Fournier will have:
Always remember (you know what comes next): It’s the journey, not the destination.
Je dois envie un tshirt de SuperViva a Michel! (One of my goals is to improve my French.)
This Memorial Day (Monday May 26, 2008), enjoy your barbeques. But how about also celebrating life by doing something on your life list? Or actively observing the meaning of this important holiday?

How much more fun and memorable is learning when you’re doing something enjoyable that incorporates the skills and knowledge? VERY.
Take physics: Studying why water ruins melted chocolate is a lot more relevant than learning those disciplines in a vacuum. Or in a classroom for that matter. (Note to the universe or Harold McGee: Isn’t it chemistry, not physics, they’re talking about?)
And that’s where my obsession with Play-Well comes in. Play-Well is a creative kids’ camp that uses LEGOs to teach kids about physics, architecture, engineering etc. They offer camps and classes, for now in California. (You can request classes at your kids’ school!)
Instead of buying LEGO machines in the box, this innovative school gets your daughter or son on the path to designing that elusive flying car we’ve all been waiting for!
If you have a goal to be a teacher and have an engineering background, well…need I say more?
UPDATE: Why wait for the universe when you can request an answer proactively? I wrote to Harold McGee and he was kind enough to reply:
“I would agree that crystallization is studied by chemists rather than physicists, even though the changes are in physical state; the chemical composition of the fats doesn’t change, only their arrangement in space. Most of the post is about tempering rather than the effects of water, but even that is more about mixing than reactions.”
I’m (almost) inspired to note on my life list all of the great food and chocolate experts with whom I’ve had the privilege to interact throughout my life. Thanks Harold!
