 Doesn't everyone have a favorite astrophysicist? 
WE DO! (we are waiting for the presentation here...we arrived 45 minutes early to the State Theater in Minneapolis!)
He spoke about our place in the universe with a program entitled Cosmic Perspective.
He will be filming a new season of Cosmos!!!

I've vowed to let the kids make more messes...and to empower them to clean them up!

Meanwhile back at school...
