How was your weekend? Cincinnati weather made it a hot, humid weekend. We didn’t have a jammed packed weekend for a change. The World Choir Games closed Saturday night, but I started my weekend with a Friday afternoon concert by choirs from Canada, China, and the USA.
Otherwise, we hit the ballroom floor, a couple of long walks, watched The Way (movie rental) (thanks to Rosie, Robin, and travel guru Rick Steves), celebrated National Ice Cream Day (Sunday) with tasty treats from one the ice cream greats – Graeter’s in Cincinnati, and ended Sunday with by grilling a pizza topped with arugula and prosciutto. Yum!
Composer in the Garden (Lynn) provided this article about the data from the Higgs boson (God particle) being set to music. After reading the article and finding the music on YouTube, I knew this was a good way to start the week. Have a good week everyone.

Wow, that Higgs-Boson data based music is pretty cool Frank. I’m watching the Read and Cardinals play right now. It’s good that the rain let up down there and moved up here – because we really needed it! 😀

Hey Frank? How come you get to post “On Monday” on Sunday? It must have something to do with physics, which I will never comprehend.
Have a great week. Whatever day it starts on!

As for as the ice cream, go to graeters.com …. On the right you’ll be able to find the stores in Florida that handles them. Believe me … yummy … rich …. chocolate chips are more like chunks of solid chocolate!
I recommend arugula and proscuitto on a pizza. (It was our first time)
Ballroom is a lot of fun, plus good exercise and good fellowship with others. Thanks for commenting.

How was my weekend? Hot, humid, and internet-less, thanks to my dim-witted ISP. Talk about a news blackout! And then Viacom had to go and pull their channels off DirecTV, including Comedy Central. So now no Stewart or Colbert, either! 😦
The music was rather cool, if a bit esoteric. I love the videos of the collision results better. The modern, colorised computer-generated shots are rather pretty, but I really love the old “bubble tank” photos, with impact and breakup trails curving and spiraling away from the collision site. Extremely nerdy, yes, but it’s what I studied all those years ago at Fermilab. Years and years ago. And more years ago…..
Have I mentioned it was a while ago? 😉
