Well, folks, PZ has arrived and is in fine spirits, although not as fine as me, considering that I have had a beer and already met some people I know from graduate school.

Oh, and speaking of John, well, that boy is a slacker, pure and simple, because he is still not here!

When I heard the news that day ... Oh boy. I had received an email from a man whom I knew only as the father of a (now former) student. We had met once, a few years ago when his son graduated, and he gave me a very nice bottle of wine, which I shared with a select group of wine experts only last…
Ha! You're straight back into the swing of things. By the time you're read this, you should have had a hearty breakfast, and worried about how much weight you're going to put on.
Later, your concern can turn to the effects of too much caffeine, and which talks you can snooze through.

Healthy activities you have ahead of you. You will be exhausted by Monday but also refreshed in some odd way!
Was PZ as much a dork in person as he seems to be?
And I read your interview about blogging interferring with the job search/that scares me. As a student and blogger, have I already screwed myself?
