Believe it or not but I'm up in the air again. This time the destination is a city that was founded in 1729 and termed "The Monumental City" by sixth President John Quincy Adams (certainly more appealing than the later epithet "Mobtown").
Birthplace of Frank Zappa and Babe Ruth, the town has harbored a wide range of immortals during the years; F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edgar Allan Poe and Gertrude Stein have all shared their grounds with more recent celebrities like John Waters, Edward Norton, Tupac Shakur, David Hasselhoff and... Stacy Keibler.
If you haven't figured out the destination by now, perhaps two television series might help you pin down my next stop. If I say Homicide: Life on the Street (Uppdrag: mord in Swedish) or The Wire, then you surely know what I'm talking about...?
For the second time around I'm representing the Fred Hutch postdocs at the National Postdoctoral Association's annual meeting, this year in... (drum roll)... Baltimore, MD! I sure am exploring this country, state by state. East Coast, here I come!

Stacy Keibler! Kommer förresten ihåg de första avsnitten jag och Kärran såg av The Wire, fattade inte ett ord av vad poliserna sa. Det var skönt när det handlade om life in the projects för där gick de iaf att höra vad de pratade om :-D
ReplyDeleteJag visste väl att någon av er skulle reagera på Stacy Keibler... ;)
