The Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei) was the official secret police of Nazi Germany, responsible for suppressing opposition and enforcing the regime's terror, operating outside the law to arrest and persecute perceived enemies without due process, and playing a crucial role in the Holocaust.

The saw in a roadside restaurant somewhere in the mountains reminds me of my mother sawing wood for the cooking stove, whenever my father drove her mad, not responding other than leaving for the barn, providing wood to keep us, the teapot warm, bread toasting, and pot roast stewing.

A Few Good Men. Best in Show. A Mighty Wind. Miss Congeniality. Barcelona. All three movies in Linklater's "Before" trilogy. Music & Lyrics. Michael Clayton. All films that were able to be made because of the production company Reiner co-founded in order to give talented filmmakers creative freedom.

without Rob Reiner’s Castle Rock production company we wouldn’t have: City Slickers, Honeymoon in Vegas, In the Line of Fire, The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise, Dolores Claiborne, Lone Star, Waiting for Guffman, and more - in a six-year period alone

Tom Stoppard may not have known about the difference his words made on this specific a scientific level, he was well aware how much words matter, how they can change minds if not lives. RIP Sir, you live on in your work, and in health care!

An astonishing letter published in the Times of London.

“In another, there he was, cock tail in hand.” I imagined the man with a rooster’s tail “…at some fancy city watering hole…” Why a cock tail? Read again, “…cocktail in hand.”

Seriously though, as helpful, soul-nurturing and absorbing as a workshop in my view is reading. Just reading widely and for discovery. I loved the Booker prize winner's speech last night (Flesh) and his emphasis on risk taking. Applies to reading too! #kidlitchat

Trump clearly decided that rapid identification of public health threats to the U.S. is something that only Democrats want. Public health largely began in the military because once upon a time, leaders understood that disease is the greatest threat to militarily readiness. That’s over.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today. The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly. We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.
