Love this whole Weinberg tribute thread. In many of your OTD posts, you weave in beautiful anecdotes about the quiet, graceful humanity of the person. I find this Weinberg example very touching in his perceptual awareness of the situation that prompted him to gift you the book. Another shining example you told of this kind of perceptual awareness by a prominent person recognizing how a simple act could benefit others is the magnificent Joe Polchinski anecdote at https://twitter.com/mcnees/timelines/805900100862115841
