In science news today we learn that gravitational waves, predicted by Albert Einstein a long time ago, are real. The waves are hard to detect but are real. This explains so much for me personally and from today forward will be my excuse for a lot of things. This morning, for example, at 6 o'clock, the gravity was extra strong because I had to exert all my will to rise out of my warm, soft bed. Six o'clock on a Saturday morning in May when the warblers are migrating is different. Then the gravity is light and I practically float out of bed. So don't blame me for not wanting to get out of bed on a cold, dark winter morning. Blame gravitational waves.
