An ornithologist, a cellist and a human rights activist: the 2022 MacArthur Fellows

This year's 25 MacArthur Fellows will each receive $800,000, a "no-strings-attached award to extraordinarily talented and creative individuals as an investment in their potential," according to the MacArthur Foundation website.

It is perhaps the most coveted award in academia, the arts and sciences. You can't get nominated and the pool of candidates is a tightly-held secret. It's also a sweet cash prize.

To learn the winners and more, here.


 
Sometimes you get lucky.
 
 
We were when WonderWoman met Superman. She had had boyfriends, but none serious. Thirty years ago she came home saying she met a guy at the gym who said that she didn't know it, but he was going to marry her. Our reactions were dubious at best. I regret those doubts now, realizing he was, and is a blessing


Dated three years and married for twenty seven.


 Superman is from a great family, loving parents and 
two brothers who are all so close and laid the groundwork for the wonderful man, husband and father he is.


 My favorite SM Dad photo, and there are many, is
Superman reading bible stories to his three boys at bedtime.

It's a Mom's dream to have a great husband for her daughter ... and a loving, caring Dad for her Grandsons (aka Grandhunks). My dream came true.


Because of him, these young men are strong & have good hearts. They know to to treat the women in their lives because of the love and respect he shows to his wife, their Mom, WW.

Such a lovely tribute to a great man. Also, I totally agree with the kindergarten joke! Have a nice weekend, and I am sending you a 30 second virtual hug!

Happy birthday and best wishes to SM. I love all your pictures of him and family.
Jacki, your collage is fabulous. Just 3 colors and just a few pieces. Another masterpiece.
Have a fine Sunday, Jacki.
