The boson is among us! Without the boson, we'd all be vapor (or less than that)! It was somewhat compelling to watch the webcast really early this morning. But, I was soon lost in the details of the esoteric analytical processes that were applied to help the scientists to identify and locate the particle. I ended up sleeping all morning until I took off for the H's and a round of reading aloud from Human Smoke a non-fiction summary of what happened in and around WW II. Amazing, documented, anecdotes based on extant materials and records! Surprising actions of the few that affected the many--not always in positive ways.

I watched a French film this evening--Triple Agent. It's set in the time just ahead of WW II. It's about an actual person who may have been a triple agent, providing information (or disinformation) to the Nazis, the Soviets and the Fascists until he was disappeared. The story was interesting but the way the film was constructed (with many long pieces of narration), it was somewhat tedious to watch.

No classes today but a movement class tomorrow! Lots of booming from the fireworks being set off tonight. Happy Birthday, USA!
