Happy early birthday to me! <\/p>\n
I stopped by the Informatics building this morning to check my mail (My office is in a building on the other side of campus) and to my surprise I found a BIG GIANT BOX!<\/strong> I popped it open and found birthday presents! Wahoo!<\/p>\n Until this point it didn’t really sink in that my birthday is approaching. April 5, for those who aren’t sure. I haven’t done an updated wishlist, but there’s always stuff on my Amazon wish list<\/a>, if you’re inclined to get me a gift…<\/p>\n Anyway, back to the Wahoo! Sally (Suzanna)<\/a> sent a sandwich maker, which I will do oh so much<\/a> with! Also she sent me the The Fray<\/a> album, How to Save a Life. (Which, to my surprise, actually has nothing to do with machine-based implementations of living systems.) I’m listening to it now, and it sounds great! Thanks Suzanna! (Oh, and was Putnam part of this too?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy early birthday to me!
