This morning Steven Hawking is dead. He seems deader than most people (when they're dead), having been about things so big (and a funny guy too). But in a break in the middle of a little dull stack of OK Galleys I just saw video of a drag Elsa pushing a police truck out of a snowbank, and it was a lift for me, too, thank you Internet (and Drag Elsa). It's even better cuz it takes her a while. And cuz it ends in a curtsy. Who'd thunk I could be so tickled by a curtsy? It seems I can. And there are more things in Heaven and Earth. More and more things. Even as it all gets further and further apart.

Writes my Estonian friend, "It dissolves into the air and 'boof' it is gone."
I like this "boof!" Boo meets poof, with maybe a little poo/Pooh and oof in there, too.
