Life as a Physicist

By this point in the year I usually fear Jingle Bells. Deck the halls causes headaches. But not this year: stores in France don’t play the music incessantly. We’ve been trolling around town purchasing (small) gifts and narry a Christmas tune is to be found.

What a pleasant change from the USA! Perhaps when I return there three days from now I can enjoy one or two days of Christmas music without the ill side effects!
