On Sunday Kelly and I went to see a matinee of Les Miserables at Gammage. It was pretty fun, and since it was a matinee, it wasn't a clusterfuck. We really need to do this kind of thing periodically. Next we want to see an opera. The Marriage of Figaro is playing in November.

Hey Brad -
Did you watch "10.5: Apocalypse" last night? Apparently, the premise behind the movie is that the continents, which drifted apart post-Pangaea, have now reached their maximum separation and will start moving back together again, only this time at an accelerated pace.

Should we be worried?

That is probably the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while. There have actually been at least three supercontinents in Earth's history, and there's no reason to expect convergent plate motions to be faster than divergent plate motions on a global scale. All motions have to be balanced.

Yeah, of course I know that the idea is absurd...

But I do miss seeing you get all worked up about ridiculous portrayals of geology in movies (or even museums). I always enjoyed that.
