I'm a little ashamed for thinking, much less saying, this but ... I really kind of detest the science fair. It isn't because science isn't really my thing, or that I'm opposed to exploring a topic of interest, it's just that it turns into so much work without much reward. It's hard to be excited … Continue reading Observations and the science fair

Never, ever
You know how they say “Never say never?” Well, despite that old adage there are few things in life that I personally never want to do.
