Is it a plane?
Last Saturday it was such a lovely day here in the Netherlands that Oh Patient One and I decided to get the train to Utrecht and play tourist. On the train there was an odd graphic on the door between our carriage and the next, so, of course, I decided to take [...]

Michael Palin! Monty Python star, fearless traveler of the globe, and altogether nice, funny, intelligent chap.
Whoever you think should be president, here’s a wonderful, [...]
Rewind back to ten years ago when we first moved to New Jersey.
Oh Patient One and I went to buy me a car. After some research we decided to go for a Saturn. Nice safety features (I’m a safety kind of gal), not too expensive, good mileage per tank of gas, yadda yadda.

And sexy scientists.
It’s happening! At least, I hope it is…
Rock star physicist, Brian Cox, tells us about the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and how scientists are trying to find the theory of everything. It’s thrilling, it’s exciting, it’s hot – literally hot for quite a long time after Big Bang. Brian is thrilling and [...]
