I'm back from vacation. Photos are forthcoming.

If it's Friday, it must be Quiz Time!

What Kind of Coffee Are You?

Holla!

I'd just like to give a shout-out to my girl Liz who will be taking the Montana bar next week! In the words of our Wise Bar Guru Prof. Sacuzzo, show them what you know.

Small Spaces

Cute article about couples who have to live in very small spaces. Do you think this is better or worse for relationships? Or does it depend on the people involved? I have to think that I would kill anyone who I had to live in a 400 sq. foot studio with, but maybe I am underestimating myself. Thoughts?

In Case You Missed This

On the front page of the New York Times yesterday, an entertaining read.
Suffice it to say, that I'm not sure how the "error" on his resume ever made it past a background check since I can assure you that transcripts are among the very first things that are obtained in doing a background check. Maybe political appointees don't have background checks? It seems like the people doing the appointing would want to make sure that there's no skeletons in the closet, right?

Anyway, enjoy.

EDIT: Sorry, I posted the wrong article about the same guy. Try this one.

Sociability

Interesting read from CSM. Americans' visits to friends have been declining over the last thirty years, and visits to relatives, the last twenty. Why are we less social? Or are we just being social in different ways, i.e., through e-mail or through our work interactions? The author makes a good point in that the Super Bowl is one of those few occasions left in the year where one is expected to go visit friends or family.
