De Grey Meets Dyson
I just interrupted an important scientific meeting to run the vacuum.
Dr. de Grey confirms that he has no idea what a dustbunny is. I tried to describe one, saying, "If you were to look under a couch," and Aubrey said, "I've never looked under a couch."
Exactly. He's just the kind of person you'd want for a guest, someone who has no earthly idea if the house is clean or not, and who would never think to inspect it.
He was duly thankful for the media-readiness blitz that preceeded his arrival.
The media folks showed up at 10, and I chatted with the producer Wendy, who was quite nice, about CR. She may want to do the CR show with us at some point, and she duly noted the camera-friendly features of the kitchen. I cooked lunch for Aubrey and MR while the camera folks were setting up, then I fed Kieffer so that he'd stop howling and tried to eat my lunch (usual weekend lunch of kale, arugula, napa cabbage, tomato and green pepper salad topped with 1 cup nonfat plain organic yougrt and 1 teaspoon flax oil, plus a bit of hot sauce, four ounce glass of red wine on the side) but the clinking of the forks was too much noise as they were interviewing Aubrey in my living room, so I took my plate outside and had my first lunch al fresco sitting on a cinder block in our back yard. Then I walked to work, where I'll be for the rest of the day.
Hanging out with Aubrey makes me wish I had more time to devote to Methuselah Foundation volunteering. Hopefully as my staff gets more experienced I'll be somewhat less crazy at work... but then again, we may just get busier.

Good luck with being busy. Eating in the sunshine on a cinder block = priceless! Enjoy the beautiful weather!

Funny story, April. I think the dust bunnies have been having a breeding frenzy at my place...
Laura - personally, I eat piles of food on CRON, more than I did before. Truly never hungry when I get the ON right!
