This is one of the most candid posts I’ve ever written. As the rational, practical-minded daughter of scientists, I can become extremely introspective at year’s end and am prone to assess the past in an unflinching way. So what’s my verdict on 2012?
Well, folks, it’s that time of year again. Time for me to jump on the bandwagon and compile a “Best Of” list. Time to scroll through the sixty-nine blog posts I unleashed into the world in 2012 and select some favorites…
Merry Christmas everyone! Here’s a quick and light-hearted Double-Take. Granted, it’s not related to the holiday in any way but I think it’s cute. Oh Modern Family! How you disappoint me so. Perhaps all those Emmys and Golden Globes made you too complacent because your fourth season on ABC was sadly hit-or-miss. Once upon a […]
