That's too bad about the job H. I've never worked in the world of academia or research, where grant funding is at the edge of everyone's mind. Here's hoping they can keep the wheels on the bus, at least as long as you are there!
I definitely want to see Death Valley pics!

I wanted to post this yesterday, but the blogger.com servers were not working for me. Shangri-La diet results, week 4: I lost another 2 pounds! So it's officially 6 pounds in 4 weeks, which is a healthy and sustainable progression. The appetite suppression side of the "diet" is very noticable to me, and I love the simplicity of the idea (and that it works!).

Dad: I had written down the PIN number for the German bank card, so I have it. It was what I thought it was when I was on the phone with you...

JP: If you have only 99,999 books in print by the end of the year, I'm coming to kick your ass! Just kidding - it's good to see you are writing again.

World Cup kicks off with Germany vs. Costa Rica at noon tomorrow! Go USA! We have tough opponents in Italy and the Czech Republic. And, if we only squeak by and make it to the next round in 2nd place, we would face Brazil, so we really, really need to finish first in our group if we want to make it to the semi-finals!

I should have some good news, job-wise, tomorrow afternoon. I'll let you guys know if this is so.

That's all for now!
