This is our first year homeschooling, and we’re doing pre-K.  So we’re not homeschooling hard core, especially since I’ve got a major book writing deadline in January 2010.

I’ve listened to several works of classical music this summer that are new to me, but I don’t think I’ve liked any of them more than I have these two pieces by Bach, his St. Matthew Passion and Mass in B Minor.  They’re quite long and I’ve only heard each once, so I can’t write about them in any meaningful detail; all I can say is that I like how they sound.What’s struck me the most about them is their pervasive, ubiquitous piety.  These two major works by one of music’s great masters are also a

A team of neuroscientists, headed by Dr. Gregory Berns from Emory University, recently conducted a brain study where they placed subjects in an MRI scanner and hooked them up to electrodes.  Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?  The subjects were warned that they’d receive a shock, not harmful but definitely not pleasant, within a one to thirty-second timeframe which would be revealed to them each time in advance. The scientists then monitored the subjects’ brain scans.  Some subjects showed intense a
