happiness
marriage
a good life

the untimely :
snatched
from our shelter
our safe house of hearts

a wind whipped street
lifes cruel hard road

his story shines even as it darkens
his characters sing even as they're crying
unnamed
unknowing

and finally
understanding

quite simply the novel of the year

undeniably

GREAT

K.C. Cole Start: 6:00 pm End: 8:00 pm Friday, November 13, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and the World He Made Up BUY NOW Coyote Point Museum, 1651 Coyote Point Drive, San Mateo With the 40th anniversary of the Exploratorium in San Francisco coming up in October, science writer K.C. Cole (Mind Over Matter) is back to delight viewers with her very personal biography of the man whose vision and tenacity started it all: Frank Oppenheimer. If you’re Frank Oppenheimer, you use what you’ve learned from art, science, teaching, and ranching to make up your own world--a "museum of human awareness"which is soon copied all over the world. You inspire artists, scientists, politicians, and writers with your unstoppable optimism, your love of humanity and unfettered sense of fun. Most of all, you remind us that the world we live in is one we made up ourselves, and we can remake it better. SOMETHING INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL HAPPENS: FRANK OPPENHEIMER AND THE WORLD HE MADE UP is the story of how K.C. happened upon this marvelous wizard and his "palace of delights," found a mentor, fell in love with physics, art and the world of Frank, and finally got a chance to tell his tale.
