you and me and the bottle makes three tonight
Nick and Chipper and the first of many glasses of wine
We had some people over for dinner Saturday. It was a ton of fun.

This is quite interesting

I’m having a small crisis of, what, I’m doing what, but I like research.
As those dear to me have reminded me, I like it because it is going well. When my research is going well, I feel like I am good at it. I am good at.
I should think about all those times I hated my research. Okay, I never hated it, but I was frustrated by it. Research is frustrating. I have a feeling policy is going to be more frustrating, as I have to deal with people. I forget in my long years of working with myself, how frustrating other people can be.
I have to remind myself that I am not going to into policy because I don’t like research. I'm going into policy because I feel like I can do more good in policy. I can enable other people to have more opportunities to do research, to make sure that research money is fairly distributed, and to try to get politics the hell out of science.

Take it from me (post grad school) even as an engineer, working with people can be a pain in the neck. It is *very* very inefficient.

Yeah right. Like politics will ever get out of anything!(not to mention science)
Big Love was a really weird but well done flick. I saw it in Valdosta while I was at training. The cast was great. It was a just a peek at what it is like on a daily basis to be a man of many wives. I liked it.
