LHC

by Frank Paynter on May 17, 2007

Plus que danken thank-you schoens to Betsy Devine for pointing to the high energy rocking doo wop group, Les Horribles Cernettes.

Here’s a 17MB RealMedia video of their smash hit, “You Only Love Your Collider,” filmed on location inside the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. How cool is that?

(The one thing that worries me about the LHC is that maybe instead of smashing the big metaphorical goose egg that Betsy references, we will instead hit one of the turtle eggs by accident and then it won’t be “turtles all the way down” anymore. But that’s just me.)

Twenty-one good years

by Frank Paynter on May 17, 2007

In the morning the sounds of
blackbirds and warblers, catbirds and doves
male cardinals with their joy-joy-joy-joy

Fragrance and flowers
honeysuckle perfume, purple clouds of lilacs
wild plum blossoms, dogwood, lily of the valley

Ephemerals gone, trilliums fading and jack in the pulpit rising up…

happy anniversary sweetie
I think we’re proof
that there is life after youth
