I love this time of year, and not just because I finally get to break out the jackets and coats I accumulated in seven years up North and never get to use in Texas. It’s Nobel Prize season, and there are few things that do a better job of reminding us all that humanity truly kicks ass. I mean, today the physics prize was awarded to three guys who discovered a new state of matter. Seriously, how bad-ass is that? New states of matter don’t exactly pop up every day, in between mouthfuls of Cheetos during commercial breaks of Survivor.
Plus, I’m in favor of anything that keeps the Swedes busy — you don’t want a bunch of troublemaking Swedes with too much time on their hands.
And, in my continued quest for self-promotion, there was a story in today’s DMN on how schools responded to Sunday’s attacks.
