Still figuring out how you’re going to navigate 2022? 

...That’s ok, NPR’s Life Kit blog has 22 ideas for different areas you might want to tackle this year.  It’s a short week for many folks, so don’t feel like you’ve got to do them all at once!

Some interesting analysis regarding the physics of the Tonga volcanic eruption, how Victorians flirted (collage anyone?), and Bethel bobsledding leads to Beijing.

I’m also listening to Terry Gross’ interview with actor Brian Cox. He’s always in such interesting roles. She’s talking to him about his most recent role in “Succession," but for some reason I always picture him as the headmaster in “Rushmore,” and the villainous program head in the Jason Bourne movies. 

Go Figure,
