Only 1 (one) can be the best is an Olympic tradition. No one better typified that than Joe Specht.
He was my teacher at Lycoming College in 1975. My lecture-hall English Lit class met twice a week and once a week in a smaller group lead by Joe, the intern. I was a freshman and he was a senior. He was serious and funny at the same time. He had curly hair and a mustache any walrus would be proud of. He wore the best shirts and always had a quip about a recent movie or current music he enjoyed. People gravitated toward him because he was easy to like. Even on a Friday, no one missed his class.
We had an odd friendship I started through a few common friends. In 2000, I visited Joe and Ani in Vermont and admired their “million dollar bathroom”- you know, the one with the view of heaven and the woods that surround it. Upon departure, I was jealous.
To my way of thinking, Joe Specht did what he set out to do and that’s an admirable trait.
In compliance with Olympic tradition, Joe Specht deserves a gold medal because only one can be the best.

Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy – Best in Brightness
Posted on January 6, 2013 · Leave a Comment
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby irregular galaxy and a satellite of the Milky way. It is the brightest visible galaxy from earth. It has a mass equivalent to approximately 10 billion times the mass of our Sun (1010 solar masses), making it roughly 1/100 as massive as the Milky Way.
It is visible as a faint “cloud” in the night sky of the southern hemisphere. It is unlike most galaxies which are visible only with the aid of a telescope.
