Everything Is Illuminated!

Roberta, Nidhi, Grace and I met at Wolfgang Puck Express in Hoboken this afternoon and had a great discussion on Everything Is Illuminated (and found out that all our books had different colored covers!).

Here's a link to some of the discussion q's we looked at, and an interview with the author:

Dinosaurs at the AMNH

We went on a field trip to see Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries at the American Museum of Natural History, just the day before it closed! This was (surprisingly?) interesting, with videos, models of how the dinosaurs moved and walked and stood (this has changed in the last few years, since it is now believed that they could not have 'stood up straight' with their necks held high like giraffes, but instead would have had to be more 'horizontal').
