I've been away
Sorry it's been so long since I posted, friends, but I was on retreat. On Friday I and nine other LLKers went to the Cape for a weekend of sun, fun, and research objectives. That is how we do at MIT. From group meals to beach walks to trying some capoeira moves, it was great. Plus, I learned several new things while on retreat including:
1. I can't sing and clap my hands at the same time except when playing
2. Big Booty, which was probably my favorite thing I learned (um, it's a game)
3. You can take a group of grad students and researchers out of MIT to Cape Cod but they will all bring their laptops and spend half the time there plugged in to their machines
4. The sacrificial first pancake to the gods is not a concept known by everyone
5. Sand fleas can hop very far
I learned more than that, but it's a bit lost in the fog that is the head cold I developed on Sunday.
