I’m actually working on this trip — in Torrance this morning, have to drive down to Seal Beach for lunch with an old Rockwell (now Boeing) colleague, then back up to El Segundo for a two o’clock meeting, then to Burbank this evening for Whittle’s half-century birthday. He didn’t look a day over forty-nine to me last night.

Then an early morning flight back to Florida in the morning, so probably not much new until Thursday. For those who read the New York Times, though, I may have some thoughts on North Korea there this afternoon. With a bonus picture.
