" . . . that little but of buffoonery on my part. . ."
This humble phrase made me smile. I need to adopt it!
Thanks for sharing about the Feynman books. Dr. Feynman gives a great example of how science is a fun part of our lives--he has so much fun with it every day. I think that is the book that has the great story of what he did at the uranium plant at Oak Ridge when hesitated too long in admitting that he didn't know how to read the schematic blueprint--awesome real-life moments from the people working to make sure that Hitler didn't take over (or decimate) the world.
I would add that ladies thinking of reading Feynman might enjoy it more after first viewing the movie "Infinity" (with Matthew Broderick) based on Feynman's early life and his relationship with his wife.
