Back in Michigan

I forgot to bring the camera on an evening walk out to Picnic Point so I couldn't photograph the full moon over the Capitol dome. It was a magical evening with moonlight reflected on Lake Mendota, and fireflies zooming around us.

I saw old friends, colleagues and mentors.

I still can't explain why I am a former scientist. (See sidebar bio.)

Madison seems to be experiencing an economic boom. The recession is much more obvious in Michigan.

    Ann, you still ARE a scientist. For what is writing a novel other than a series of experiments? You left the science of biology, and entered the science of story. It seems a natural progression to me. . . :)

    Ann-
    There is no such thing as a former scientist. Once a scientist, always a scientist. It is a state of mind, an inquiring mind, in whatever endeavor.

    Thanks, Ann.
    Perhaps I should have said I can't explain why I'm no longer working in science.
