One of the things I was most excited to see in Heraklion was the Phaistos Disc. This clay disc was discovered in Crete in 1908 and is covered in symbols from an unknown language. No one knows what it means. I learned about the disc a few years back when I was researching “mysteries” to knit into a scarf. (I ended up going with the Wow Signal.) Isn’t it cool? Now we have a smaller magnetic version stuck on our fridge.

Public service announcement: “Nobody Wants This” on Netflix is very, very good. If the idea of “Seth Cohen and Veronica Mars in a romcom” is something that gets your heart going, this is for you. It’s very funny; they have amazing chemistry; and everyone else in the cast is perfect too. Please watch it so they make more.
