I still wonder if poor Pluto is a real planet, or kind of in the dog house. You were the lucky one to not know that science and math weren’t cool. I’m not surprised you’re a musician among other wonderful things. Math and music are definitely connected. And Zelda is delightful!

Sounds like you had great teachers…picking pieces (literary and musical) that appeal to adolescent males…making it cool and hence stay with you forever!

Oh yeah, I liked those Ice Warriors!

All those land photographs we’re blessed with now. As a Whovian you will now that many years ago it was populated by the Ice Warriors, of course.
Recently watched an amazing series, The Planets, fronted by Mancunian Brian Cox. Also, one last Mars connection with a music bent-I can recall my first week in high school, In Drama, we had to listen to a piece of music while imaging the ferocity and devastation of the Great Fire of London. The music was Holst’s Mars, from The Planets. I think the two artistic creations that stayed with me from my school days were The Planets and To Kill A Mockingbird.

Thinking about Zelda has been fun. And nice to know she’s welcome in my adult circle of acquaintances, too! HA!

Thanks for stopping by, Bette.
One of my roommates in college was the only woman in the astrophysics major. We discovered each other in the Math classes required for each of our respective majors (mine was a dual Math and Biology degree). Except for her, I was the only female in many of my required classes…
If not for the physics required, I’d have loved to have been an astronaut, too!

Actually I love lots of stuff about space, had entered college planning to be an astrophysicist but alas, dropped out to get married in 1961.

Dwarf Planet is it’s current designation…exo-planet, too? Not sure about the exo status or what that really means. Will have to explore that more fully for my own curiosity’s sake.
