Why are we particle physicists doing all this? — “It has only to do with the respect with which we regard one another, the dignity of men, our love of culture. It has to do with: Are we good painters, good sculptors, great poets? I mean all the things we really venerate in our country and are patriotic about. It has nothing to do directly with defending our country except to make it worth defending.” — R.Wilson
PANIC 2011
Well… the PANIC cruise turns out to be reaaly quiet and nice. The main attraction is the Boston skyline… of which I took a pretty crappy picture.
Squash at MIT
The longer I play squash the more I am amazed why the courts at MIT are not completely overrun 🙂 Let’s keep it this way!

Art Work in the Office at MIT
Today Ana is going to the doctor and left me the three youngest…. This was of course during a Higgs to Gamma Gamma meeting but that was not the worse. Blaki just pooped into his diapers so hard that it had been flowing out for a while. And Ana just indicated he might need some cleaning. Well, he ended up running around in a diaper, his jacket and his shoes 🙂
Meanwhile though Gisele and Markus became productive, they painted two wonderful pictures which I attach below.
Tired?
Need coffee….
Travel luck
