Physicists know about lots of phase transitions–“an
abrupt sudden change of one or more physical properties,” says
Wikipedia–for example, ice melts into water–water boils up into
steam–some supercooled substances turn into superconductors….
I’m getting ready for the phase transition from pre-traveling-Betsy to Betsy-in-transit.
I just finished putting our garden to bed for the winter–I know I won’t have another free minute before December 18.
Pre-traveling-Betsy is wearing blue jeans, with one sneaker dripping
water all over the floor. (As I coiled up a garden hose, it soaked my
hosiery.)
In-transit-Betsy, I hope, will look cool and serene. She’ll be wearing a suit in shades of black,
silver, and gray, plus her favorite red
walking shoes. She’ll definitely have dry socks on both feet.
Now, to get past the intermediate state, which seems to be blogging-Betsy….
