Our neighborhood has a new place called Storefront Science and we checked out their open house over the weekend in between Christmas parties and a nativity play. Huck was of course in heaven and later when I asked him which class he’d most be interested in taking he chose the one called “Darn Tootin’ Newton,” which is all about gravity and forces and motion and making catapults. I asked him if he was sure he’d have the energy for a science club and jazz choir after school twice a week and he said, “Of course I will, because I love jazz singing and I love science. I wish someone would invent a way to do science through jazz music.”
(The woman who started this place and will be teaching the classes is a professional jazz singer, by the way.)
Here are some pictures of the past couple weeks, starting with some electricity experimentation, moving onto Muscota’s Candlelight Night & a few holiday parties, and ending with Huck as a serious Magi singing and dancing to “Joy to the World,” which pretty much sums up that child of mine.














You know, Jazz singing and Science are not exclusive of each other. I have friends whose son is a freshman at Johns Hopkins with a double major of Engineering (at JHU) and Jazz (at Peabody Conservatory under the JHU umbrella). He sings in an Jazz acapella group. So, dream big Huck – you could be shooting yourself to the stars to go swing on a star!
That looks like a darn tootin’ fun weekend! Jazz music and science…only my Huckles! I never would have thunk…
WOW! Have we been havin’ fun this season or what? (THAT’s why I’m so pooped!)
