Thank you for this! It totally reminds me of Feynman's spinning plates story:

I came here to say the same thing.

And, Feynman had a gift at making these ideas accessible to the layperson. He is very missed.

do you have any more of these stories you can recommend?

There are more anecdotal stories like this in this book: http://www.amazon.com/Surely-Feynman-Adventures-Curious-Char...

Feynman's entire approach to life seems to be to "play" with it. He's an expert troll, the original pick up artist, nobel prize winning physicist, guest biologist, expert safe cracker, computer programmer, etc. His stories are fantastic, and a reminder that life is a ride. You should enjoy the ride, above all else.
