If you look at headlines populating all the major news organizations past few days there were three major events that stole all real estate. These headlines but headline one indisputable fact - the world has gone nuts. Loco. Kaput. Bonkers. I suspect its not a recent occurrence yet amplifies the message yet again to those listening.

Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list. Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD - school f
