The Nile Crocodile and the Salt-Water Crocodile have reduced the problem of mankind to its simplest terms. They think that some specimens of mankind are a little tougher than others, and that is all there is to it. Mind you, I’m not saying they’re right. The ancient Egyptians regarded the Crocodile as a sacred animal and the symbol of the sunrise. This seems to have been a mistake. It was just one of those ideas people get now and then. In his spare time the Crocodile propagates his kind.

An old schoolmate was planning to come to Boston to see the MFA Van Gogh exhibition. She’ll be heading to Provence in a couple of months, making a kind of Van Gogh Journey. Regrettably, she needed to cancel the Boston trip. She kindly made the ticket available to yours truly. My rideshare vehicle bringing me in to the museum picked up another passenger. We struck up a conversation. When he asked, I told him that I’m a composer and was a clarinetist prior to my stroke. Well, it turns out that this young man is designing a robotic hand as a therapy for hand deficiencies. It is a fascinating conversation to spring from a chance meeting. In this video he discusses his initial project.
