Office props …

Another beautiful oak frame with an important part of my scientific journey. A big photograph of the L3 experiments when the first parts of the magnet had arrived, with a lot of my at the time future collaborators, because I joined L3 for my PhD in September 1992, when the experiment had already been running for years.

I received this picture, which is actually a giant card as a parting gift from my colleagues with a many signatures and best wishes… now finally I found the time to hang it up.

Finishing the hedge

Our driveway needs a hedge all along our property line. And our front hedge is way too tightly planted. It had at least three rows of bushes planted or selfplanted over over the years that it was a jungle… now the driveway hedge has just received the last three bushes from the front.

Over the years this project has been a 100 percent success as you can see from the progression of the hedge. In two years it is going to be perfectly tight, and the front is going to be very nice and tight again, too. There are probably five or six more big bushes to move into various location. Forsythias are my absolute favorites for a hedge: they are beautiful, tight and easy to maintain in our yard.

And so it begins: School Year 2026/7

We have made it through the summer and school is starting in Arlington for the two High Schoolers and the two elementary schoolers… MIT is starting after Labor Day 😛
