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.
