Shame on you!

To the person at the Cognitive Science talk today at Northwestern University who spilled soda all over my girlfriend's books, then said nothing to her, shame on you! You should have said something to her so that she could have moved her books and started to dry them sooner. Shame on you!

Belated Valentine's Day. . .

This year, Valentine's day fell on a Tuesday, a most inconvenient time for those of us with significant others in another zip code. I wanted to shower my love with lots of attention and a nice dinner on that day, but could not. So, the issue became whether or not we should celebrate before or after the actual day. Well, as usual my plans fell through due to things I failed to anticipate (a store only having 10% of it's online catalog in the brick and mortar building?!), so it has become a belated celebration. The gift I ordered should be arriving shortly, after which I will be heading out of town. I want to take her to a new restaurant we recently discovered.

I often feel like this at work, especially in meetings...

1001 Nights in the Iraqi Army

I first learned of this book by listening to "This American Life" on NPR. The author read part of the book on the program, and it was very interesting and captivating. It tells of his adventures as a high school senior visiting his father in Iraq, only to be drafted into the Iraqi army before he can return to the US. It is a touching story with a sense of humor.

From my fortune cookie at lunch:

"You have the strength to overcome obstacles on your way to success."
What a hopeful message!
