I stayed away from corn for two weeks, and then had a fistful of Corn Chex - ten minutes later, my sinuses felt like they were full of concrete, and I was coughing like crazy. Sorry, home state, one of your best-known products is now off-limits to me. <br /><br />Yes, indeed, Richard Feynman was a fascinating personality. I never get tired of reading quotes and anecdotes about him. What an original thinker, and charismatic figure.Elizabeth McQuernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758117792901579774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657434.post-52109541278772559992007-01-07T11:32:00.000-06:002007-01-07T11:32:00.000-06:00A few years ago, I took my son in for a "scratch" ...A few years ago, I took my son in for a "scratch" test for allergies. My ex- and I knew he had a severe allergy to strawberries-- a frantic emergency room visit for an epi shot on his second birthday was when we found this out. We had some surprises-- he had allergies (all mild) to corn, pork, green beans, eggs and tuna. Doesn't stop him from eating any of those, though. <br /><br />More power to you on Cosmos-- my co-best friend Jim turned me on to both the book and movie. Appropriately, I spent New Year's Eve with him watching old episodes of the origianal Star Trek's second season-- I'd given him that DVD set for Christmas.<br /><br />Feynman was one interesting cat, wasn't he? 50% scientist and 50% rock star. There was a pretty good biography published about ten years ago-- I remember reading the review in the New York Times.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.com
