Will my wife love that I took an old CT scan of her skull and made a 3d print of it today

** The correct answer is "You must have printed it funny, my head isn't that shape" :) I'm not going to argue with her versus the CT scanner resolution.

A quotation from Homer

And in return may the gods grant you your heart’s desire; may they give you a husband and a home, and the harmony that is so much to be desired, since there is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends, as they themselves know better than anyone.
 
[Σοὶ δὲ θεοὶ τόσα δοῖεν, ὅσα φρεσὶ σῇσι μενοινᾷς,
ἄνδρα τε καὶ οἶκον, καὶ ὁμοφροσύνην ὀπάσειαν
ἐσθλήν· οὐ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ γε κρεῖσσον καὶ ἄρειον,
ἢ ὅθ’ ὁμοφρονέοντε νοήμασιν οἶκον ἔχητον
ἀνὴρ ἠδὲ γυνή· πόλλ’ ἄλγεα δυσμενέεσσι,
χάρματα δ’ εὐμενέτῃσι· μάλιστα δέ τ’ ἔκλυον αὐτοί.]

Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 6, l. 180ff (6.180) [Odysseus to Nausicaa] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Rieu (1946)]

A quotation from Montaigne

As for the duties of marital love that some people consider injured by absence, I do not believe it. On the contrary, it is a relationship that is readily cooled by too continual association, and harmed by assiduity. Every strange woman seems to us an attractive woman. And every man feels by experience that seeing one another continually cannot match the pleasure of parting and being together again at intervals.
 
[Quant aux devoirs de l’amitié maritale, qu’on pense estre interessez par cette absence: je ne le crois pas. Au rebours, c’est une intelligence, qui se refroidit volontiers par une trop continuelle assistance, & que l’assiduité blesse. Toute femme estrangere nous semble honneste femme: Et chacun sent par experience, que la continuation de se voir, ne peut representer le plaisir que lon sent à se desprendre, & reprendre à secousses.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 3, ch. 9 (3.9), “Of Vanity [De la vanité]” (1587) [tr. Frame (1943)]

Something for Wifey in AI Era

There is a universal truth, which I feel everyone will agree on, that wives know better than their husbands, and they know about EVERYTHING.

So, we need to honour the changing times and give enough credit to them.

I did, by rechristening my wife’s name to AI… What about you?

A quotation from Jean Kerr

Marrying a man is like buying something you’ve been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn’t always go with everything else in the house.

Jean Kerr (1922-2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]
Essay (1959-03), “The Ten Worst Things About a Man,” McCall’s, Vol. 87, No. 6

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

No considerate man can approach marriage without deep concern. I, he will think, who have made hitherto so poor a business of my own life, am now about to embrace the responsibility of another’s. Henceforth, there shall be two to suffer from my faults; and that other is the one whom I most desire to shield from suffering.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 10.1 “Marriage”

Ah yes, the tragic tale of a tech bro bravely logging off at the ungodly hour of 6 PM for some much-needed #spouse #therapy. 🤦‍♂️💻 Clearly, the only thing more taxing than his "senior product management" role is surviving the apocalyptic #chaos of #Q4 without resorting to hugs. 🙄 #techlife

On the evening before I started my new job, I made my packed lunch for the next day and put it in the fridge. When I came to get ready to leave for my early morning train, I found a note from Tris next to my work bag to remind me to get my lunch and pack a couple of other essentials which I hadn’t been able to put in my bag overnight.

Such a small thing, but a really kind gesture that really helped when I was feeling nervous.
