重温阿法狗

前两天发现Google Play Movie上发布了一个阿法狗的纪录片，看着纪录片，又得以重温了一下去年熬夜看阿法狗和李世石的比赛的场景。一年前，李世石为没能战胜阿法狗而伤怀；今年回头再看，其实他赢了唯一一场人类对阿法狗的比赛。

最近也在看人类简史，动物世界的交流方式完全基于客观存在，因而最多也只能发展到一两百个个体的协同合作；而人类能够交流抽象的概念，进而为了抽象的目标而协同工作。抽象的概念包括国家，宗教，公司，法律，货币，社会阶层等等。然而人是复杂的，随着人类的发展，人们又发展出各种复杂的规则以便制衡各方的利益。

也许，机器如果能够接触到所有的社会现象，也许能够很快得总结出规律，并且play with it really well，就像阿法狗一样。

欧胡岛：第七天

最后一份作业：

因为前一天陪Ricky去了koko head，某人不干了，要求单独和妈妈hike，周六回家之前我们又去了Diamond head(远古时代的死火山口)，1.6迈，elevation gain 500英尺，我们两个人差不多一个半小时走完，要说小家伙还真是挺棒的。

Oahu真是个很漂亮的岛，感觉到处都是风景。东边和北边风大浪急，建议做计划之前先查天气预报。南边感觉就随意了，一般天气都还适宜水上活动。

吃饭嘛，滋味成都我们去了三次，楼下有个blue water fish and shrimp也吃了几次。如果想尝试本地的食物，很多景点都有food truck，还蛮方便的。如果要吃清淡的，岛上的日本移民／饭馆也很多。

星期五因为我和娃爹分头行动，一度互相联系不上，用了下Uber，挺方便的。

我们这次又用了Shaka App，Oahu的两个tour都不错。这次稍有点遗憾就是没去Koalua Ranch，应该是挺老少皆宜的。不过旅行嘛，时间精力都有限，留点遗憾也正常。

欧胡岛：第六天

家有一个跑步的娃，就是到什么地方都能找到hiking的地方。

Pillbox hiking trail(一二三四五)：1.25英里，500英尺elevation gain，大风，局部区域比较滑，breathtaking view，我们四个人一起爬上去的，每个人都觉得很开心。

Koko head railroad trail(六七)：1.8英里，800英尺elevation gain，一千多个台阶，Ricky带着我上去的，走得腿都软了，我是累得不想动了。

Diamond head trail(八)：距离不详，Ricky自己一个人跑上去的。

这一天以酒店的烟花表演结束，Ricky也十四岁了，生日快乐。

感受生活

欧胡岛：第五天

先祝各位朋友感恩节快乐。

继续流水帐：

Lanikai beach：可浮潜可游泳的沙滩，风急浪大，试了一下就放弃了。倒是捉到了一直小螃蟹，Lulu玩了半天。

Shark’s Cove：很适合浮潜的沙滩，外围是一圈岩石，挡住了汹涌的海浪。娃爹说在这个地方找不到鱼都困难。

Dole plantation：今天感恩节四点关门，我们差不多是提前十分钟进去的，没坐上小火车也没时间玩迷宫，不过吃上了传说中的菠萝冰激凌。

感受生活

欧胡岛：第四天

今天如愿去了hanauma bay(恐龙湾)，八点二十左右到的，目测还有二十几个车位。

这里原来是火山口，慢慢的形成了一个半圆形的海湾，岩石和珊瑚礁都不少，一群一群的鱼，有些很大。Lulu一如既往执着得和沙子较劲，Ricky则瞬间就进水里玩去了。可惜Ricky的脚被岩石划伤了，玩了一个多小时就走了。

为了让Ricky休息一下，下午在楼下的的Lagoon玩了俩小时，还试了试stand up paddle board,，似乎坐下来还比较容易操控。

晚上找到一家川菜，chengdu taste(成都滋味)，我们三个大人都吃得不错，弟弟稍微委屈点，没吃多少东西。

感受生活

欧胡岛：第三天

今天计划沿着东边的海滩转一个小圈的，走了三分之一不到，lulu到了Sandy’s Beach之后就再也走不动路了，玩了好久。这片海滩沙子很细，浪有点大，感觉更适合冲浪。

中午十二点半收到Ricky短信说落地了(早了半个小时)，连忙赶去机场，稍微休整了一下就又去浮潜，一天快快得就过去了。

明天再去恐龙湾浮潜，然后完成今天没有完成的部分，💪💪。

感受生活

欧胡岛：第二天

今天去了珍珠港，也许是因为这段路程分上下两层，上层是高速，下层是local，这一路上google maps总是跟我不在一个频道上，最后总算也到了。

珍珠港这个区域有好几个展览，所有展览到必须先到visitor center。bowfin潜水艇就在visitor center这边，步行买票就可以去。USS Arizona是免费的，但是必须提前预约然后到了预定时间坐摆渡船过去。另外两个USS Missuri和飞行博物馆就要坐穿梭巴士往返了。

Lulu本来就是奔着飞行博物馆来的，这几个展馆自然都是二战题材的，处处都在提醒人们，眼前的和平是用残酷的战争换来的。孩子仍然无忧无虑得玩了两个多小时，各种飞机都想摸一摸看一看。与大人却是心情复杂的一天。

好消息是Ricky终于同意skip后面两天的课，明天就飞过来了。Lulu说I cannot wait to see Ricky and Dad.

感受生活

欧胡岛：第一天

今年感恩节假期，计划全家一起到欧胡，周六一早出发。

周五下午接到Ricky电话说周一到周三还要上学，😱😱😱，连忙给校长老师写信解释，一封回信都没收到。无奈之下，只好我带着Lulu先走，娃爹带着Ricky周三再来，😭😭😭。

一路飞机，租车，check in都挺顺利的，只是觉得缺了一半。

Anyways，既来之则安之吧。早上带Lulu做了个潜水艇的tour，还挺适合带小娃的。

导游说我们今天运气不错，风平浪静，要不就像在洗衣机里一样。这个区域其实没有什么礁石，因此也没什么鱼。几乎所有的structures都是人为沉下去的。一个旧船大概只需要三万，但是一定要清洗干净才可以沉下去，清洗差不多需要三十万的费用。海水侵蚀金属的速度还挺快的，这些船和飞机沉下去的时候是完整的，这也就是二十年的时间，差不多只剩下大致的轮廓了。

生活

Lucas两岁了！

检查身体，体重68%，身高98%，结论就是，Lucas还是偏瘦。

虽然学说话慢点，可以关键的都学会了，特别是magic word: NO! “Lucas睡觉了”， NO！ “Lucas关灯了”， NO！NO！”Lucas上学去了”，NO！NO！NO！

每天用不同的方式娱乐大家。

前几天，小家伙在冰箱里发现了一个ice pack，很开心。噔噔噔得跑到爸爸身边，小手一巴掌打在爸爸的腿上，然后用ice pack给自己敷上；再用小膝盖磕爸爸一下，再给自己敷一下膝盖；又跑到我身边踩我一脚，敷一下自己的小脚丫。笑死人。

这天小朋友吃完饭，抽出面巾纸把桌上洒的牛奶擦干净，很爱整洁嘛。结果擦完桌上的，小人儿又把杯子里的奶倒在桌子上，继续擦。如此直到杯子里的奶倒完了，有跑来找我要more。这不，小朋友干完活儿了，垃圾桶里堆积如山的面巾纸。小人儿干点家务活相当的expensive。

小家伙最近学会了唱歌，twinkle twinkle little star, abc song, we will rock you。歌词基本上还是乱唱，不过节奏出来了。平常听的好多歌他也能在啦啦啦，哦哦哦的地方跟着唱，还挺厉害。看样子老师们在幼儿园，爸爸和哥哥平常在家在车上给他听歌蛮有效果的。

会说的话也慢慢得多起来了，Let’s go, More please, baba/Ricky away, nose/mouth/ears/eyes/knees/toes/bellyB/nut/fish/owl/sun/sky/moon。班上小朋友的名字都叫得出来。中英文有时候也混着说：大Wheel, 打打light，洗澡澡什么的。

算是喜欢看书吧，有些书读过好多遍了，还没翻页他就兴奋得喊出来了；还有些书他格外喜欢某些页，就一遍一遍得要求重复。不过最要命的是他总是指着海豚说“Moon”，指着花儿说”Wheel”, 指着太阳说“Sky”。这个年龄的童书最好是和孩子们看到的世界一致。一旦抽象成简笔画，孩子们就容易搞混。稍微一纠正，还换来小朋友尖叫抗议，唉。

不过嘛，他说错了我也不是特纠结。前几天看TED talk ‘Do schools kill creativity?’，这段话说的很好：Kids are not afraid of being wrong. I am not saying that being wrong is being creative, but if you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original. And by the time kids are become adults, they have lost that capacity. The way we are running national educations, mistakes are the worst thing you can make. The result is that we are educating people out of their creativity capacity.

talk里给了下面这个例子：

SIR KEN ROBINSON: Gillian and I had lunch one day. I said, how’d you get to be a dancer? And she said – it was interesting – when she was at school she was really hopeless.
LYNNE: I told Ken that my mom – at the age, I think I was 7 – would take me to the doctor because she was at the end of her tether.
ROBINSON: The school – in the ’30s – wrote her parents, said, we think Gillian has a learning disorder.
LYNNE: Her attention span is very bad. She cannot stop moving. We call her Wriggle Bottom.
ROBINSON: I think now they’d say she had ADHD, but this was the 1930s and ADHD hadn’t been invented, you know, at this point.
ROBINSON: Anyway she went to see this specialist – so this oak-paneled room and she was there with her mother and she sat on her hands for 20 minutes while this man talked to her mother about all the problems Gillian was having at school.
LYNNE: He was so astute, this man. He’d been noticing me and noticed that I was trying to take in 98 things when there were only 50 to take in and all of that. And…
ROBINSON: The doctor went and sat next to Gillian and said, Gillian, I’ve listened to all these things that your mother’s told me. I need to speak to her privately. He said, wait here, we’ll be back, we won’t be very long.
And they went and left her. But as they went out the room, he turned on the radio that was sitting on his desk. And when they got out the room he said to her mother, just stand and watch her.
LYNNE: And the minute they’d gone, I leaped up. I leaped on his desk, I leaped off his desk. I danced all around the room. I had the most fabulous time.
ROBINSON: And they watched for a few minutes and he turned to her mother.
LYNNE: And he said – he immortalized; I really owe my whole career, in a way, and I suppose my life to this man – he said, there is nothing wrong with your child. She’s a born dancer.
ROBINSON: Dancer.
ROBINSON: Take her to a dance school. So she did. I can’t tell you, sir, how wonderful was. We walked in this room and it was full of people like me, people who couldn’t sit still, people who had to move to think – who had to move to think. She became a soloist. She had a wonderful career at the Royal Ballet. She eventually graduated from the Royal Ballet School, met Andrew Lloyd Webber. She’s been responsible for some of the most successful theater productions in history. She’s given pleasure to millions and she’s a multimillionaire. Somebody else might’ve put her on medication and told her to calm down.

talk嘛，为了吸引大家的注意力，通常都会偏激一些。不过也值得我们想一想不是？
