“Salutations, cadets! The following paragraph is full of words, words tat I wrote, about the podcast, “Chemistry for Your Life”. Some would say I’ve written a review, but because I love to sing, I’ll call it a “Revue”.
Science. Who is she? And even more to the point, who is her red-headed step-daughter, Chemistry? As a youth, I pondered questions such as these, and more. To me, Chemistry was a mystery. A dark lady, the kind you might see leaving a seedy piano bar via the back ally fire escape, by the harsh early morning light, knowing she was the headliner from the night before. She was always just out of reach. Ethereal. Ephemeral. Fleeting. Otherworldly. Long did I observe the shadowed-streets of Silicon Valley in an attempt to catch even a glimpse of the hem of her outermost garment or hair, as she turned quickly around a sharp corner. For ages I chased her. Longed, learned, lusted. And yet she evaded and eluded me. Despite my best efforts, I was unable to gain any footing or knowledge of her world. Biology and Physics - these were friends of mine. We had lived, loved, and laughed together over the years. But Chemistry? She was a secret unknown. I sat, I despaired.
And then I stumbled across “Chemistry for Your Life”! A friend had recommended the podcast to me, but since I had been “off the grid”, first I had to buy a cell phone. Since the demise of Cellular One in the late 90’s, I’ve been adrift at sea. Once, I found a used Blackberry™ on eBay, and I thought I was in the clear! It turns out, however, that a 2009 Blackberry™, despite its vast intelligence, is not a “smart” phone. Next I had to find a real Podcast compatbile device. Since China Town is closed during the war, this was a very difficult task. Finally my great uncle, who is a dirty cop, sold me an iPhone from his precinct’s evidence locker.
Now I have C4YL and understand Chemistry so much better! The elusive maiden has finally been won, and we shall soon be wed! Much revelry shall be had, and the celebration of our love will be taken down by the poets and priests to be recounted to the masses for years to come.
Thank you, Chemistry for Your Life.”
