More & more, air travel feels like amateur hour. @United flight attendants didn’t know our destination (they asked me during take-off announcement); jittery landing; plane parked so poorly we could not deplane. Had to re-stow luggage & wait 40 min to repark plane at better angle.

Just bought "Romantic Piano" by @gia_margaret. A beautifully meditative album. Mesmerizing. giamargaret.bandcamp.com/alb…

Carpenters in Ghana craft elaborate coffins to send the dead into the afterlife. Would you like to be buried in a cellphone? #🇬🇭

Miraculous day aboard @LindbladExp! Spotted a small pod of sperm #whales, just south of the equator. The youngest one seemed curious and swam ahead of us, gulping in air & spraying out a few big bursts of breath before diving far, far below the surface of the ocean.

Landed on the tiny rock island of St. Helena & got to visit with its oldest loving resident, Jonathan—a Seychelles Tortoise believed to be almost 200 years old. Quite profound to commune with a fellow living who’s been alive for centuries. Tortoises are extraordinary @LindbladExp

Yay! The Association for Education Finance and Policy (@AEFPweb) gave me their "Policymaker & Practitioner Award." I better get out there and positively influence some policy and practices!

I spent a remarkable day on Tristan Da Cunha, one of the remotest islands in the world. This was our view as we departed aboard the @LindbladExp NG Explorer. We remained on the back deck, enthralled by the view.

As I recall, that movie was ALL about economics.

My spouse introduced me to the film *Dirty Dancing*, and I learned that the protagonist has plans to be an economics major in college. Yay!

Incredible weather today. Despite 50 knot gusts of wind, the protected inlet of Ocean Harbour allowed our @LindbladExp group to get in a long hike in the pristine mountains of South Georgia.
