Nuclear Visionary

The boys and I went to the American Museum of Science and Energy today to check out the exhibits. Albert Einstein’s image is everywhere. What a great face. I think I’ll do a painting of it eventually. He had such kind, soulful eyes. Hard to imagine what he must have [...]

Oh, Great. I actually managed to drop my camera one too many times. I heard glass breaking, and I suspect there is something broken internally as well as the external damage. I can’t tell, though, because I can’t make it go to image taking mode. Now – I will admit I’ve [...]
