0:00 Welcome to ANI in the air, under the tent, and around Baltimore, your daily podcast briefing of all the goings ons, ins, and rounds, our 10 ideas at Sudbury School.
0:07 So today was a rainy day. Yes it was. Kind of surprised me. I knew it was going to be rainy in the end of the day, but I didn't know there was rainy in the beginning of the day.
0:19 So we had some JC. People came out. It was good to watch people handling everything with calm and respectability. Appreciate that.
0:37 And after JC, a little hazy, but there were a bunch of people sitting under the tent, I think, having lunch, chatting, maintaining their social distancing stuff, so that was all nice.
0:56 There was a lot of activity on the virtual reality corporation, some Minecraft hanging out, and all the usual hootenanny.
1:08 And there was just some go-go ball playing, which was in the rain, and so that was kind of cool.
1:16 I also saw a student who saw that there was a bike left out in the rain, and they took it and put it in the carriage house, so that really warmed my heart.
1:25 I love seeing that kind of responsibility.
1:30 So tomorrow is Article Club. It's a grab bag of whatever people want to bring and discuss.
1:39 I'm going to talk about this article about Magic the Gathering and how the people behind it tried to prevent a financial bubble from forming back in the '90s and what they've done and how things work.
1:56 So I thought that was kind of cool. I'll probably have to listen to it again.
1:59 Maybe while I'm cleaning up today, because you know what? Gaga ball in the rain causes mess inside!
2:05 I'm so excited. Oh, lovely.
2:12 There's also no school on Friday, so tomorrow will be the last day on my podcast for the week.
2:17 I got a fantastic tip of the week for all those who like to mow lawn.
2:22 I know I talked about some lawn stuff on Monday. Well, guess what?
2:26 I'm going to find out the tool that made me just think about cutting grass all day long.
2:32 I can see myself doing that with that tool.
2:37 It's a lovely tool. Anyway, you've got to wait until tomorrow for that.
2:40 I guess I should also mention I did a wondrous Wednesday.
2:49 It's about basically losing the universe. Where'd it go? I don't know where it went!
2:54 We've got a very short time before it happens, only like 150 billion years before we lose sight of almost everything in the universe.
3:01 Oh, boy. So we've got to get exploring now.
3:08 Get those warp drive and hyperspace highways and whatever else going on.
3:15 Cool black hole travel. I don't know. Worm holes.
3:20 Anyway, I guess that's about it. Rainy day here.
3:27 We're off on Friday. Keep that in mind. And we've got assembly on Sunday.
3:34 Hope everyone is having a good one, and I will see you when I see you.
