Happy Sir Isaac Newton’s Birthday!

Here in New Mexico, we have many traditions for celebrating Sir Isaac Newton’s Birthday on December 25th. We eat tamales, we stew up some posole, we light bonfires, we set little candles inside brown paper bags, and we decorate the graves of our ancestors with lights.

I’m not doing any of that this year, I must admit, but I expect I’ll be having a good time anyway.

Whatever your traditions may be, Kathy and I wish you a joyous holiday season.

” Who, by vigor of mind almost divine, the motions and
figures of the planets, the paths of comets, and the tides of the seas first
demonstrated.” —Epitaph
