C-isms

Mom (in the AM, before breakfast): "Sweater? It is cold?" C: "No. I want a blanket." C wraps around herself, shuffles around and says: "You have done well young Padawan, you have done well." 9/8/12
C: "A great teacher would remove the word 'impossible' from the classroom dictionaries." [Why?] "Because nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it."
Mom, lost in a park near their house, "I can't find a trail." C: "Lets blaze one!"
C: "Steph-anne Hawkins is not as smart as Einstein because Albert Einstein could do quantum physics and quantum mechanics in his head, while Steph-anne Hawkins, with all due respect, can only do physics. No offense to Steph-anne Hawkins, partially because he is the smartest man alive." Mom (in all seriousness, and remember that she is a regular reader of Scientific American): "What is quantum mechanics?" C: "It is how particles move." 9/26/11

Vacation 2007 -- decisions, decisions!

One of the better holidays here is Diwali, the festival of lights. It
is in November and since it lasts a few days it is a great opportunity
for an extended vacation.

In 2004, we had just gotten here, so Diwali was spent looking at
fireworks from the Hyderabad ITC Sheraton.

2005 found us....holy mackerel. I don't remember. I think we just
hung out and talked about how we really needed better plans for
Diwali. Or else we went to Bangalore. I can't remember.

2006 was our 10th wedding anniversary and Campbell's 4th birthday, so
we went south to Maldives -- paradise!

In 2007, we debated endlessly -- I wanted something beachy (Ko Somui?)
and LA wanted something more cultured (London -- in November!). So we
went with C's first choice, which means we are headed BACK to the
Maldives.

Yay!
