This week\u2019s follow-up covers good news/weird news on Merlin\u2019s wife\u2019s phone, more on \u201caccessibility\u201d settings, and how craftsmanship and quality often war with management.\n\nThe main topic is _solo parenting_. Facing The Shoe Crisis, thrice ruining the dinosaur eggs, and finding yourself in a Staples line that\u2019s literally not moving. Is fear and anxiety really such a smart and time-tested motivator? Is it telling that John and Merlin\u2019s partners don\u2019t seem to sweat mornings when _they\u2019re_ not around?\n\nAlso, we learn why neurosis is *always* built into the price when applying _Siracusa\u2019s Incompleteness Theorem_.\n\n(_Recorded Monday, October 3, 2016_)
