Hi M, 

Again, wearing my blue bandana in this time of the coronavirus pandemic (of a couple of varieties perchance) - to protect people from my ugly face is something I can see Lance, as an old Cuttyhunker 'hunk,' (friend too:) saying :)

Just emailed Ed to seek his counsel (and even regarding traveling from California, from his perspective as a Kaiser Permanente MD). Thank you, Ma!

L, Scott

'Nother 'Cuttyhunk' in the labels' blog post today - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Cuttyhunk - but not yet posted :) ... and there's a home video of Ted's remembrance here - http://scottmacleod.com/family.htm - in the middle, for your enjoyment (which I've just stumbled upon, having updated the related page significantly recently - http://scottmacleod.com/ScottMacLeodFamilyHistory.htm); it was a nice remembrance. Hoping to post soon the article on the NIH developing 

AGING-REVERSAL research and planning for this for the 2030s. When you get a large medical institution doing this like the NIH, you can really make some progress, and compared with the handful of scientists exploring it today ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity ... and see the 1 minute long George Church video interview here - 

https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk (and there's a lot of creative hippy thinking in MIT / Harvard Prof of Genetics' George Church in interesting ways TOO).

Hello Ann and Ma,

Just back from a beautiful walk, on the far side of the massif, other side of Indian valley, to the east, and overlooking Moraga, - and I think the 5 horses are now down to 4, with the foal missing; perhaps it was sold. What a beautiful place to be a horse! I haven't seen the cattle in some time now. Perhaps they were sold too!

I hope this finds you well. How was your weekend, and how are you both? It hasn't been too hot here this weekend in the afternoons, I'm glad to write! How about you?

And how are things going coronavirus pandemic tail end wise for you (into phase 3 in Boston and planning for physical school openings there in autumn over online education). I hypothesize in an ongoing way that this pandemic is mostly of an 'in case of emergency' variety; I wonder about the threat, for example,, of crop dusting planes dropping biological weaponized viruses - out of a zillion other related scenarios -  and whether got too close to reality for comfort? 

What's happening UU-wise in Pittsburgh, Ma? Nontheist Friend-wise, atheist Quaker-wise, am wondering if truth is growing in the Society of Friends. I'm also continuing to do a little salutary thinking Yoga every morning first thing - meditation in some asanas. Where Angela & Victor head with Yoga, (and Iyengar too) post 1960s and in the USA is very creative and visionary, and I'd like to explore this further (perhaps online, but they're not heading online!). 

Heading up to Harbin eventually for ethnography. Appreciating in these regards this anthropological paper - "What is Ethnography?: Teaching Ethnographic Sensibilities Without Fieldwork" (2014)  https://www.academia.edu/12400676/What_is_Ethnography_Teaching_Ethnographic_Sensibilities_Without_Fieldwork_2014_?auto=download&email_work_card=download-paper - by CU Boulder Prof. of Anthropology Carole McGranahan, who has a voice right out of the 1960s and '70s (check out some videos):

I'm interested too in the possibility of applying this paper to my teaching ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy- my developing social science theory, - and newly online (this autumn) even. And here's a research group I'm planning that hasn't yet got off the ground - http://www.scottmacleod.com/research-group.html (from http://scottmacleod.com/ ) ! 

Your Pa, Ted, taught Anthropology as I recall too, Ann! 

Hoping the 'unreal' norms of Canyon, and Canyon critters are achangin' - per my earlier emails!

Warm regards,
