shared my home with two journalism graduates from spain. newman's own five cheese spaghetti sauce goes great with whole wheat pasta, plum-tobacco, and some weird cardgame that might as well have been calvinball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes#Calvinball).
wrapped up my software engineering course (http://www.epp.jhu.edu/course-homepages/viewpage.php?homepage_id=2731). i had toyed with changing my degree track at jhu's apl from mathematics to computer science. this course, and my workload at kff, have informed me that would be a mistake: high-level statistical theory (and data mining) courses seem much more valuable than learning tangential material like intrusion detection or machine learning. the data-oriented programming languages i use (sas, spss, stata, r, foxpro) apparently don't get taught anywhere except google groups' discussion boards.
put my father's four-bedroom house in bethesda on the market for inauguration week.
prepared sushi for him as well, he burned his sinuses twice on the wasabi. a friend had given me this fancy japanese serving set. notice my father inhaled his plate (on the right) before i could snap a picture. i would also love to cook some sushi for you.
