There is usually a big to-do about blogging in the face of danger, and today's post was blogged in the face of danger and I'm making a big deal out of it. In a true throwback to my undergrad days at good ol' Tinderbox State, aka Webb Institute, we are having a fire alarm. The subtle difference between a Ross fire alarm and a Webb fire alarm is the timing: in Glen Cove the fire department could expect to wake up at around 4:37 AM at least once a semester, AAFD was probably just wrapping up lunch dishes when this call came in. Sigh. So much excitement... at least I got to have lunch outside.
Not much else to report, sadly. I guess MAP is crowding our days with 'final' this and 'last' that. We're cranking out drafts of report sections and starting to concoct a winning presentation. Arrangements have been made for our flights east for the presentation and then back west afterwards, with time in between for tour of jet engine assembly.
Finally, some advice. Don't eat cold pad thai with only a fork. It just isn't fun.
