This week in first grade, Hannah is the "Student of the Week." So she had to create of poster of herself with photos and information.As you can see above, she's an active gal.
My favorite portion of the poster is where she relates her career goals: being "a singer and a scientist." The singer part represents an effect of watching too much of a certain program on the Disney channel and her growing interest in music. To direct her a little more productively into better music, I got her a cheap Hohner blues harmonica last week to complement the starter acoustic guitar one of the friends of Nasty family (thanks Fern) gave to her a while back. I'm looking forward to listening to some blues numbers and Americana tunes of her making.
But I'm most pleased by her interest in science since women are still underrepresented in a number of scientific fields.
And Hannah being a scientist is a better bet for supporting me when I'm a cranky old codger (now I'm just a cranky middle-aged codger).
Maybe she'll use time travel to figure out what kind of scientist she should be.

Time Travel?
That's awesome! A much better superpower than turning invisible or flying.
The possibilities are nearly endless with that power and a manipulative mind. *evilgrin*
Unless she meant something like this...
Yeh, I don't know where the desire for time travel came from. That would be kind of fun.
She really wanted to go back in time when she was a baby and watch all the experiences and things she did when she was small. She never said anything about going forward in time....
You're entirely welcome.
Our Rose--who ended up majoring in music--used to say she wanted to be a snake scientist. She does have a snake, but plans to teach elementary school. She also used to look forward to a future time when she would be old and her dad would be as young as she was then. (At this point in time, I'm thinking "be careful what you wish for.")
So, how do you make a link in this thing, travolta? Today's xkcd is also future-themed, but I have to post it like this, so I guess I deserve to live in the past: http://xkcd.com/864/
Yeh travolta, how do you do that thing you did?
Your InterWebs kung fu is strong.
For some reason, travolta's posts are going to my email but not showing up here, so here's what came to my email:
travolta has left a new comment on your post ""A Singer and a Scientist"":
OK, this is going to be tricky to show the html code without it *becoming* the code.
To get:
this
You need to type:
<...a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"...>this<.../...a...>
except delete all the triple dots between the brackets.
The "<...a" opens up the html tag, the href is the HyperlinkREFerence and inside the quotes you put the URL (the Uniform Resource Locator or the web address which you can cut and paste from the top of your browser), the ">" is the end of the tag opener, the next part will be the text actually shown on the screen, and the "<.../a...>" closes the html tag.
travolta's second try:

And his final:
I swear I posted twice last night how to do a link on here.
I even snuck in a rickroll, dammit.
Let's try again.
To do this: rickroll
You type this:
<...A... href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"...>...rickroll...<.../A...>
except get rid of the triple dots.
The <...A opens up the html tag, the href=" is where you put the web address, the text you put between the ...> and the <... will actually show up on the screen, and the /A...> closes the html tag.
I all received these beautifully designed instructions via e-mail (since I remembered to ask to have follow-up posts sent to me), so I appreciated the letter and the spirit of this thoughtful rickroll.
Are these perhaps self-deleting posts? There's definitely a meta-level to them.
In any event, travolta has certainly earned (here goes nothing) THIS
Hmmm... I can't tell if the problem is on my end or their end. One more time: POOF
woot!
