Also, funny joke for you (your dad might appreciate it more):
Marie Curie enters a party, and the hostess walks up to her and says, “Madame Curie, you look great! You’re positively glowing!!!”

Dear Caitlin,
Marie Curie and her husband Pierre discovered radium and the radioactivity of this element. If a thing is highly radioactive people say that it will glow. It can glow related to Cherenkov radiation, surrounding phosphorescent materials, or due to heat when the radioactivity gets out of control like in a meltdown or an atomic explosion.
Most radioactive materials do not glow. A small hunk of uranium would not glow by itself. Marie Curie did not glow in reality but the joke is funny because some might recognize that she did not glow but but would recognize the relationships noted above between radioactivity and glowing.
Marie died from aplastic anemia (in which bone marrow does not make new blood cells) due to exposure to too much radiation:
The characteristic of radio luminescence is a real one. See the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioluminescence
It occurs when a radioactive material is mixed with another material whose electrons can be excited (to go into a higher orbit) by the radiation and then emit light when the excited electrons drop back to their unexcited state/orbit.
As a kid I had a watch that had a radio luminescent face so I could read the time in the dark. They do not make these any longer due to risks of radiation.
This may be TMI but I had fun typing it. I hope all is well.
Love,
Dad

20 New Year’s Resolutions For 20-Somethings
- Before you status update, Tweet, Tumble or Instagram, pause and say to yourself, “is it entirely necessary that I share this morsel of thought with my entire social network?”and if the answer is not, “yes, I absolutely must,” then step away from the Internet.
- Know which candidate you’re going to vote for in the upcoming presidential election, and know why.
- Enough with the 14-day juice cleanses. If you want to lose a little weight quickly, eat less and exercise like crazy. If you want to lose a lot of weight slowly, do whatever Jennifer Hudson did.
- If you really like the person you’re hooking up with and would like them to be your boyfriend/ girlfriend, find a way to tell them, and hope for the best. If you don’t and wouldn’t, stop.
- Find a way to save approximately 300 dollars and spend it on a flight to see a friend or family member who lives far away.
- Please stop liking the Kardashians, all of them. It’s not helping anyone, least of all the Kardashians.
- Spend less than or equal to the money you earn each month.
- Wear clothes that fit you, especially to work.
- Call someone on the phone at least once a week, and speak to him or her for at least ten minutes.
- Start preparing now to get over the fact that Facebook is probably going to change again in six months. You’re not going to deactivate your account. You don’t know how.
- Wait 30 seconds before you look up a fact you can’t remember on your phone, and try to remember it using your brain. This is what the olden days were like.
- Replace one terrible reality show you’re currently watching with one wonderful scripted show currently available on television. Swap suggestion: Real Housewives of Anywhere for HBO’s Enlightened.
- Try that food you think you don’t like but have never actually tried, unless it’s brussels sprouts. They really don’t need any more attention.
- Cut one person out of your life who you truly do not like and add one person who you truly do. Note: not on Facebook, on Earth.
- If you’re still blacking out regularly, you should stop.
- Volunteer once over the next 90 days. You’ll feel really good about it, and probably end up volunteering again over the next 275.
- Tell someone who you love that you love them on a more regular basis. To their face, not in a text.
- Back up your entire online life onto an external hard drive, especially your photos.
- Crap or get off the pot. This applies to whatever thing you’re not doing that you should just sack up and do already.
- And in the eternal words of Tom Haverford, “TREAT YO SELF!”
Happy 2012 everyone! 
(Thanks Lesley) :)
