Didn't go to Brookhaven National Labs' summer program today, though I'd intended to. Last week Secundo and I had a nice time there looking at something called the Synchrotron. Think that's what it was called. I confess that anything to do with light spectrum or electromagnetic fields instantly sends me into a deep sleep. He likes this kind of thing, though.

Watched Eight Below with my kids. Despite their confirmed (Primera) and shadow (Secundo) Aspie tendencies, they are extremely empathetic to animals, and the movie showing was a debacle: they were sobbing uncontrollably when the second malamute went to the place all good dogs go. Given that it was an interpretation of a true story, not a direct retelling, why not save all the dogs? Bleah.
