A mean game of Scrabble

Played a mean game of Scrabble (TM) – sorry, “Scrabulous” – on Facebook tonight. That always

Whew!

Busy week… it’s now about four and a half months (and counting) until I defend, and I’ve finally gotten

Europeans, that is. Was talking to a postdoc in the lab the other day; she’s an MD from Romania, lived or visited

Brrr.

This week my parents and sister are traveling up from Florida to Virginia to visit assorted distant relatives. Dreamed about this last night.
