That's what killed the cat. But since satisfaction brought it back I decidely have continued to be curious. On further investigating some inane news (mind you this is dangerous territory in itself) I discovered that the world has been stuck with a title song from the album CURIOSITY by Carly Rae Jepsen as top of the charts at number 1.

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
A Sherlock Holmes (or Watson) moment, indeed!
