I've resurfaced from the last week of classes here at Princeton to attend to my poor, neglected blog. I was so buried under work that I didn't even notice a (now-corrected) typo on the title of the top entry. I did manage to have some fun during this work-intensive period though. Miranda brought several people, including the kids from across the hall, over to make batches and batches of holiday cookies. I estimate that we shaped and baked about 150 stars, snowmen, angels, and stockings. That same day we gave the kids their winter solstice present: the game Clue! Of course, immediately, they wanted to play with us. Miranda couldn't, and I found myself trying to develop an "Anti-Clue" algorithm, by which I would guess persons, weapons, and rooms that would give the kids the most information. Alas, I was a complete failure at losing, as both kids accused incorrectly during the first game, thus leaving me the winner by default. Thankfully, in the second game, only one of them was DQ'd and I went home a happy loser.
In other happiness, all my problem sets and readings are done for the term! And I'll be working on my incipient (potential) dissertation research over break. And, speaking of break, I'll be in the DC area from 12/17-12/26, the NJ/NY area from 12/27-1/1. And the Boston area shortly thereafter. Let me know if our scheds coincide!

I hear Ted's organizing a thing... I'll see you there! :) j.
