ALISON FENTLOW #poem
Asked if she would care to imbibe, Alison Fentlow demurred

Shown the jewels of Ella Malone, Alison Fentlow purred

When late at night Ella slept, Alison Fentlow stirred

In the morning shouts of loss Alison Fentlow heard

She slipped away undetected with Raven Bold, her bird

Watched The Matrix with the 12 year old yesterday.

This morning she asked if we could watch another film this evening (she knows this is my weakness).

I suggested Jurassic Park, she demurred (too scary).

Anyone have recommendations for not-boring films to watch with a slightly timid 12-year-old?

For years, my editors @science.org have asked me to write the definitive* feature on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. I had always demurred, finding both that there was too much and not enough to say.

Then, I found a hook. The story comes out later today.
