Name calling in the name of science

The treasures of travel are often invisible to others
This time, there was the running joke: “Wer ist gestorben?” (Who died?) Or the Vine that spawned many rounds of “Oooh, you touched my tra-la-la.” (Somehow this is much funnier and slightly less off-putting when being bantered about by … Continue reading

March 26 & 27 photos of the day

March 11, photo of the day
It was a glorious 65 degrees here today and sunny. Needless to say, we went to Central Park. You could feel the earth getting ready to burst forth, and palpable relief oozed from the pores of every t-shirt wearing, jacket … Continue reading

March 10 photo of the day

It was a very good year
Someone I know recently posted the following link on Facebook: It’s a great clip. Emma Thompson (who has definitely been the highlight of the awards shows THIS year just by being her outrageous, humorous self) is funny and wonderful, but … Continue reading

So long 2013, and thanks for a great year!
Maya told me yesterday that 2013 was her ‘best year ever’, and looking back I have to agree that it was a good one, thus totally debunking the myth that 13 is an unlucky number. (In our family we … Continue reading
