re: 196 -- She spoke English as her first language, but she also spoke Arabic
fluently.
As culturally diverse as you are, I have to think that she would know if she's
Arab better than you would.

Re #199: I always hesitate to apply the term "accurate" to "theories"
like Copernican astronomy or evolution, but only because I am in part a
statistition, and "accurate" (and "precise") have definitions. I'd say
that Darwinian evolution and Copernican astronomy are not accurate, but
are good qualitative descriptions. Newtonian astronomy (theory) is
accurate, and some developments in evolutionary theory attain similar
accuracy (genetics, in particular).

Everyone seems to have been in Chicago. We were the for the weekend,
for two operas Friday and Saturday night. When we came out from the
Saturday opera, it was thunder-snowing.

(To whoever said "There ARE NO races.": What do you call the
Indianapolis 500? *grin*)
IHB I was in Ann Arbor for the weekend. Long enough to go to a hockey
game, get some laundry done for free, and get homemade cookies to bring
back. Life is very good.

IHB I handled my first shift as a supervisor very well and got a Frosty for
my efforts. =) (No, I do not work at Wendy's...it was a reward)
IAHB the person who is going to work with me every Sunday is really nice,
intelligent, and knows what he's doing. Yay!
IVHB I got a big raise and a Cool Title.

Eric: don't you love free laundry and homemade cookies. I just got back
from home and have the same thing. Chocolate crinkles and molasses. Mmmm

Hell week (sick, subgroup report due, major symposium with many BIG names)
is over. Dropping enormous class which will give me time to do actual
research. In lab setting up reactions, and happy to be here instead of
stressed about all the things I'm not doing. And when I came in, there
was a lovely little thank-you note for helping out with TA training--with
two free movie passes enclosed :)

I never get free cookies when I go home to visit! Heck, I am the one that is
usually cooking! Oh wait! I love to cook anyways. Never mind. That reminds
me that I really must continue my search for the ultimate almond cookie
recipe.
I hate email.

her feel just as special as she did me. :) :) :)
