busy hot week here in Philly. work has been interesting, with moving and other shenanigans. Was in Florida last weekend visiting Gavin's grandma. She's losing her sight pretty rapidly and we decided to go for a visit while she still has it. Her 90th birthday is in December, and really, the only health problem she has is the eyesight. I know I have raved about her before, but it's just so amazing! she is kinda down though because so many people in the retirement community around her die, and she's one of the few from the "old crowd" who is still truckin. From what I understand, she moved down to her community in the 70's and was one of the first to do it.
Florida was nice, we went to the beach Saturday and the water was 80 degrees F and awesome. The beaches down there tend to drop off immediately after the you step into the water, so I practiced swimming and treading water. used sun tan lotion to protect the skin of course, but got a little tan anyway.
C, have fun in jolly ol' Ireland. I left a message with you last night but you must have been busy packing. JP, nice talking to you yesterday. can't wait to see you in a few weeks.
Dad, how is Ming?
not much to report otherwise. doing grad school searches as I have to start requesting letters of recommendation from various current and former bosses and teachers. my list so far (it is not long):
Penn
Berkeley
Univ of Wisconsin, Madison (maybe)
maybe U of Cali, San Diego
love,
H
