While tutoring last week, we took a trip to the Museum of Science. While there, we spent quite a bit of time in the Theater of Electricity. T seemed so enthusiastic about the technology that I joked she could be an engineer when she grew up.
“No. I want to be something else.”
“Well, what do you want to do when you grow up?”
“I want to cure mitochondrial disease.”
I do, too.

We’ve had a relatively busy week. We spent the last four days driving into Boston for various reasons. This is not usually the norm. I usually go in about 3 times a week to meet with tutees and go to various medical appointments; Keith goes in to Waltham 2-3 times a week. This week just happened to be “one of those weeks”…
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
-Robert Frost
Still Miles to Go
