Last week, this week and next week
Last week's chat on all kinds of science was good. It seemed short! Below is proof that I did indeed make a fried baloney sandwich afterwards.
This week, September 17, I will be in an airplane somewhere between Dallas and Philadelphia. I hope some of the rest of you will be in the chatroom being helpful to one another somehow. (By nighttime, Keith and I should be in Maine, trying to find Laurie Wolfrum's house.)
NEXT week, September 24, I will chat with you all from Colleen Prieto's house in New Hampshire. That's pretty cool!!!
October 1, I'll be back in plain old Albuquerque, and boring again.

September 10 chat on all kinds of science
What IS "science"? If it can be learned without lessons, what is "it"? Bring stories, or questions, or links.
If you own Thinking Sticks, "science" is not one of them. I diluted the idea with lots of topics. Connections to some of those might help you think a new thought or ten. Science and ______ (one of those sticks, or any other idea :-)).
There's not a public list of English words but if you want to see them in Dutch or French, here: http://sandradodd.com/french/thinkingstickswords (Even if you can't read French, you can read twenty or thirty of those words.)

Movies, TV and little videos, September 3
YouTube, Hulu, Network TV on demand, all kinds of new gadgets and streaming this'n'that.
Bingeing on series from TV, or series of movies!
What will become of us and our children!?
Come and share fears and giggles.
