I’m looking out the window at the season’s first significant snowfall. The plows have been out already, but in two months today will be merely a ho-hum winter day, and not worth a plow run. We face a long, cold winter here on the south shore of Lake Ontario, where...

My husband was a forensic chemist in our county crime lab for forty years. People used to ask, “What is a forensic chemist?” Now we simply reply, “CSI.” At first the lab had only three scientists, and they worked on every kind of case — murder, DWI, hit and run, you...
