Oh my goodness. Just went to the gym (for the third time in a week...!), where the elliptical machine kicked my butt. So glad to actually get some exercise, though, after another day of mostly sitting (and walking. I always do a fair amount of walking!).

Claire and I went to a film screening and conversation called Raising Tomorrow's Naturalists, tonight. The film was about Edward O. Wilson, a naturalist (and extremely charming grandpa-type!) who's won two Pulitzer prizes (etc.!) for his work as a scientist and educator. Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, a crinkly-eyed, world-renowned pediatrician, was also on the discussion panel. It was a great evening! The film is called The Naturalist, and I think it's going to come to IMAX theaters soon. (The narrator we heard was a stand-in, b/c Harrison Ford is supposed to do it for the real deal!)

Here is a video from 3 or 4 weeks ago. It's Claire, Vanessa and Anna on top of Mt. Webster in the Whites, in NH. It was such a great trip! We rented a Prius, drove the 3 hours to get there, explored the beautiful new 'green' AMC lodge, hiked, sang, found our way to the Harvard cabin, made yummy dinner, then chatted and made collages and drank tea.
