Hope all is going well with you and we get a chance to see each other soon! And you are so right - science is very much a human endeavor. Val: HI!

I was so taken by the way it chronicles your travels around the world, how every ornament tells a story, and by the sheer number of them. It's always great to remind people that particle physics is a very human endeavour.

But what may indeed seem odd is "hanging" from a tree :) Imagine "lighted candles" on Christmas trees, as some cultures do? Fire hazard, I would say? :) Doornobs may not seem so odd if you considered the collection of plates, spoons, coin. But what may indeed seem odd is “hanging” from a tree :)

I've corrected it in the text. I could only guess on how to spell Corcovado, so I googled on "Corvacado Rio" and got <a>hits</a>, so I figured that was correct... Fridgie magnets and elephants I can understand, but door knobs do seem a tad bit unusual! Mollishka: I do my best to get something on the first visit. After that I am not pressed to buy another ornament, but if I see something I like it usually comes home with me. Hence the new painted egg from Aspen. Urbano, thanks! I’ve corrected it in the text.

Our bedroom is a wooden 20' dia tank and I put them there everywhere on the inside. Convenient things to hang your hat onto. Over 100 door knobs on a wall is impressive. Why door knobs? Maybe I'm looking for the way in; maybe the way out. Anyone have any olde door knobs? I'll pay the postage. I collect door knobs along with any accompanying plates.
