PREFACE

Y OU NEVER KNOW which moments in life will create that sparkthat lightning bolt of energy that illuminates a new area of fascination and then animates this interest into a quest for deeper understanding. At first it was not clear what I was chasing, but the everyday experiments bubbling away on my countertop have created (but also literally quenched) a thirst for understanding more about a vast range of topics that affect my experience of life.

He would harvest and then chug the vinegary-smelling, murky water from the bucket, referring to it as the fountain of youth.
