I’m so close to being done with the semester. I have one last exam. It’s for a great class, but the final exam is killing me. It’s a take home exam, which means it’s far harder than what we would be subjected to in an in class exam. Well, except maybe the Marine Reaction and [...]

There is a meme out there for naming women scientists. Well with Johann’s scientists cards and his love of science history as well as science, we felt like playing along. So here are some of the scientists that we came up with, most of them off the top of our heads:

My son and I took a ride down to the Fort Rachel Marina at the end of the street today — his first long(ish) venture on his his new bike. On the way back from the marina we stopped at the tiny public boat launch that is shoehorned between a couple of buildings.

Don’t know where exactly I stumbled across this, but today is Talk Like A Pirate Day…ok…sure. No harm in a little fun. But it did make me think about some of the local lore, so I decided to look into it online. Seems the Connecticut coast–or at least this part of it–likes to talk from [...]
