I’m not one to mourn the passing of summer. Not that summer doesn’t have its loveliness, just that autumn and winter have their own advantages that usually make me look forward rather than back.

This program from Radio Lab is not new, but I’ve just listened to it for the second time and thought I’d share. Find about 27 minutes to listen. // [...] I post my disclaimer as before – this is a sentimental story. My schmaltz, my blog, yadda yadda. You have been warned.
