October 15, 2011: All my life I've wakened every morning excited about what I'll experience & learn that day. I usually start the day by looking up a new-to-me fact, but definitely when I need a mental break from paperwork or practicing I briefly go looking for something new to learn. My blog is about anything I learn on any subject. I hope you will enjoy exploring this path with me.

Swiss Army Knife

One of my prized possessions, which I use regularly and carry in my pocketbook (next to one of my grandmother's lace handkerchiefs, incidentally) is my Swiss Army Knife. Using it in setting up for my studio's Spring Recital yesterday, I wondered about the knife's history.
Click here and click here to read about the history of the Swiss Army Knife. One of the things I didn't know was that it is standard issue for the U.S. Space Shuttle members. What did you learn today?
