A line from Stephen Hawking

By day, I'm an online
media buyer, grew up
with a passion & talent
for playing baseball.

On Fridays I like to shoot
pool or collect oral histories
at cocktail parties. I looked
in the toy section & saw

a sampling of narratives
drawn from doing jet
set events. Physics is
nearing its end; but I

have a similar juicer at
home that makes peanut
butter. There are things still
to prove. Looking inwards

at ourselves may influence
a child's perception of self
identity, but where are
the environmental benefits?
