Today, I began reading When We Cease to Understand the World by Benjamín Labatut, translated by Adrian Nathan West. This book, listed on The New York Times 100 Best Books of the 21st Century, promises to be thought-provoking as it delves into the intricate connections between scientific and mathematical discovery, madness, and destruction.

The Comfort of Knowing I’m Not Alone
A Plethora of Options Next Time I Need a Friend
As I stepped through the doorway into my cozy apartment, the familiar chimes of my iPhone and Apple Watch filled the air. The sound followed me to the kitchen, where my MacBook rang in unison. Setting down my hat and The New York Times on the counter, I reached for my iPhone and accepted a call from Jo Ann. Are you taking a walk?” she asked. I told her that I had just come back home. Just remember, I’m here for you if you ever need someone to call if you’re stuck on the roadside,” she assured me, reinforcing the importance of our friendship. I expressed my gratitude for her constant support and for reading my newsletter, especially the post titled “My Midnight Lifeline Call.” She asked when I had been on the roadside, and I shared more details, making her feel integral to my life.
