Give me a sarong and flip flops and I'm a happy girl! <br><br>Another consideration is, how boring, money. So a reasonable plane ticket would be good. And maybe I ought to start thinking about how to support myself since, damn!, it looks like I'll outlive the house-sale-fund. I guess that's good news...<br><br>In ...

Turns out one of the exec chefs just won Top Chef.

For some reason unknown to both Susan and me, we booked a red eye12:45am flight home from Denver to Philadelphia early Sunday morning. <br><br>We started the 25th by packing up in Avon, stuffing our Kia Forte with all of our stuff, and then driving to Boulder, CO to walk around some. <br><br>The ride through mountains we were seeing for the first time was spectacular.<br><br>Somewhere ...

... the world and the various ways people live on it. Devoting my life to physics is only exciting to me because I can turn around and apply it towards making disadvantaged peoples' lives better by developing better solar energy harvesters produceable in 3rd world countries or energy conversion techniques that can radically reduce pollution in processes already used around the globe.
