It has come to my attention that unspecified people are having a bad couple of days for unspecified reasons and could use a pick-me-up. Thus, I give you the cutest laughing baby in the universe. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

That Time of Year
It’s that time of year again in academia. The time when academics at other institutions write posts directed at graduates, reminding me that summer is starting for everybody else, while we have another four %$^*$ing weeks to go before the end of the term. Grumble, mutter, grump. Stupid calendar.

SteelyKid is fascinated by the John Archibald Wheeler tribute issue of Physics Today:

SteelyKid says, “Being sick is exhausting… Zzzzzzzzzz”: She’s been running a fever for the last couple of days, which happened to coincide with the closing of the JCC day care center for Passover. This has wreaked a certain amount of havoc on plans for the adults in the house, but it could’ve been much worse.… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 041609
