Sunday Afternoon, September 30

September 30, 2018

1) Today is the 15th anniversary of my return to MIT. I should be writing some retrospective post, but frankly, I have a headache. Maybe later.

2) This headache has certainly kept me from a lot of the things on my list, but at least I got a column posted today.

3) Returning from an errand this afternoon, I got to chat with my third floor neighbor and the children. Little Miss was having a pout, but talk about the cookies they baked for me started to bring her back to a happy place. By the time I headed indoors both of the children were using their auto as a jungle gym.
