For those of you who pay attention to politics, you may have heard that there was an inauguration on January 20th. The inauguration took place in our Nation’s Capital, which is Washington DC, which also happens to be where we live. The next logical question would be: did we attend? Well, mostly no, but a […]
When we dropped Jackson off at daycare this morning I saw this on the wall at the Holocaust museum -which is the building next to the daycare center. I thought it was really cool and I exclaimed with excitement: “Look Mike, it’s an art installation using chromosomes to show the loss of human life and […]
