It feels so good to be back home! A freak accident fractured part of my hip, which led to a hospital stay, surgery, 2 weeks at a skilled nursing facility, and the start of physical and occupational therapy. Now my hip is part “goblin,” or cobalt chromium. As Victoria Finlay explains, “Calling it ‘cobalt’ is rather like calling it ‘goblin’: in German folk legend Kobald was the name of a vicious sprite, who lived in the earth and resented intruders.” You can find out more about the history of cobalt and other colors in Finlay’s wonderful book.
The Mystery Technique will return in July!
