Time for my Tuesday geek-out with my step-grandson. We just finished watching this week’s Cosmos episode – “When Knowledge Conquered Fear“. Every time he visits, my grandson asks to re-watch the previous episodes of this program. I’m so glad that this is something we share – an intense curiosity about the natural world and the worlds beyond our own. He, like me, is fascinated by space. I hope his imagination continues to kindle as we enjoy Neil deGrasse Tyson and Ann Druyan‘s version of Cosmos.
This episode provided a fascinating overview of the scientific contributions of Hooke, Newton, and Halley.
After dinner, we’re watching “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug“.
Although we saw this together at the theatre, we are both willing to re-watch movies and shows we enjoy.
I really like Martin Freeman as a younger Bilbo Baggins and love Benedict Cumberbatch voicing Smaug. Seriously – what is not to like about Benedict Cumberbatch?
