Regarding DaVinci and the upcoming Ken Burns documentary: Well, it's about time Ken Burns, who is arguably our greatest living documentary storyteller, focuses his lens on DaVinci. Why about time? They are two peas in a pod. Burns, like DaVinci, is in my opinion a true polymath with a lifelong commitment to learning and exploration across multiple disciplines. Because of his commitment, I watched his multi-part documentaries on country music and baseball, two topics I thought I had little interest in. Turns out, he proved me wrong. I had a strong dislike for Ernest Hemingway after being forced to read "The Old Man and the Sea" in high school. Burns' documentary on Hemingway recalibrated me -- I now read Hemingway for leisure, and visited his grave in Ketchum, Idaho (it wasn't a long-distance pilgrimage; our daughter lives in Boise). I can't wait to watch the DaVinci documentary.
Great free for all Friday! However, could not get the silent expedition article to fully load.🙁
Ran into a pay wall on men’s health article
