bronwynrhI started A Big Experiment today. . . with luck this will be the Last Big Experiment.
I'll start the microscopy tomorrow morning and will basically go through the whole 'scope, analyse, lather rinse repeat process for the next week. The difference this time are two-fold: (1) the strains are different and (2) I'm house sitting instead of crashing at Melissa's.
(1) means that the results may at least be a little more interesting, because they'll be new.
(2) means that, well means that I'm taking care of lizards and turtles and fishes and froggies and learning how to use a gas oven/stove and trying to figure out how the hell their can opener works.
But at least I've got a $210 check for my troubles.
I'm working on three books right now, when I shouldn't be doing any personal reading at all. My excuse is that all three books are culturally and intellectually edifying.
The Tale of Genji - I'm almost finished with this monster tome
The Blind Watchmaker - All about evolution and how logic and evidence preclude (or make unnecessary) a Designer
Calculus Made Easy - Yes, I am a nerd. Shut up. It's a great book.
I am reading that last one with notebook and pen in hand.
Shut up.
