There was a period of time, when I was young, in which it seemed I was headed towards a career in holography. I wasn’t a STEM student, although I was labeled as gifted. Yet, holograms were part of my thought considerations. There were times when it appeared that […]
I love sweets. I’m all about the sugar. I like to take one of ABBA’s song and sing “gimme, gimme some sugar after midnight”. I don’t mind a lifesaver or two or three at night and for breakfast. Lunch and dinner as well. So, Im really good buds […]
