We were invited to read from our books, which I did of course. But first I had some opening words, which I thought I'd share with you here.
I'll share video too, once that's available.
My guess is that it is a play on the traditional still life, with the joke being that the TV makes the viewer in fact part of the still life; and that the rising cultural dominance of TV makes a more still life of/for us all.

If you teach Year 6 maths in the UK and you'd be willing to Zoom chat briefly with a pre-service teacher in the US for a class project, let me know? Thanks!
Definitely! Thanks!
Very cool! Based on the registration form and what I know about other CMC-related events, am I correct in assuming that non-CA folks are welcome to attend? If so I’ll pass along to the pre-service teachers I work with! Thanks! PS enjoying the new pod eps! 👍👍👍

There should also be a new defensive position to prevent baserunners from using this shortcut. A "shortcutstopper" or something.
Yesterday I spent a fascinating morning talking maths with a group of GPs. All professions require some level of numeracy, but doctors face particular challenges when communicating mathematical ideas.

You are almost—but not quite—off the grid. 😄 Hope you are having a nice getaway!
