For posterity
I am working on the first of four rounds for my final project. Each round, in addition to a crapload of other work, contains a series of 10 Board Queries, or questions regarding the industry, financial statements, etc.

Weekend Fun!
One of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time! A few highlights: getting to see people we haven’t seen in a loooong time, ditching homework for the entire weekend, riding our bikes and walking on the new stretch of Highway 40, fireworks (!) as part of this year’s Grand Lighting. I imagine that this is how great much of life will be in two short weeks when we are done with school.

My Nikon mug has no shutter
It’s really quite sad when the extent of my photography has come to drinking my coffee from a mug emblazoned with the Nikon logo. Not quite the same as holding an actual Nikon, but at this point I will take whatever I can get.

I hate homework
I am absolutely FED UP with homework. Sick to death of it. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent writing a stupid case analysis on the 3M Company. The firm is pretty cool. It came up with Scotch tape and Thinsulate and Post-It Notes. But there’s only so many times you can write the word “innovation” in one paper before you want to just beat yourself silly with your textbook.

This morning as I carried Zozer through the rain into school, we sang together:

Zoe Games
Zoe has been playing a game in the car, where she holds out a certain number of fingers and asks me to remember (guess, actually, but she calls it remember) how many she has. I don’t have the rearview mirror tilted to where I can see her, so it really is a guessing game. She gets a big kick out of it, so I play along.

Bits and pieces
Don’t you love it when, a mere four days after you buy an ungodly expensive computer, the company releases an even better model with a bigger screen and a wireless mouse and keyboard standard AND prices it two hundred bucks less than what you just paid? Yeah, I love that, too. As I’m sure do the fine folks at the Apple store who received a phone call from me today. “Ummm, can you help me out here?” Thankfully, we’re within the 2-week return policy, so my new iMac will be packed up, taken back, and exchanged for an even newer iMac that costs less. Go figure.

Well, I’ve just done my part to stimulate the economy.
