A few spare minutes down here in Florida
I'm reporting in from Boca Raton, FL ... I'm attending the 40th Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Computing. It's cold down here -- cold for Florida anyway. Might only get up to 68 Fahrenheit today. Brrr!
I'm missing Amanda and Mikey already. Mikey sat up from a laying position for the first time yesterday morning, just before I took off for the airport. He also got his first haircut (from his great grandfather, a barber) yesterday. There's video of it for me to watch when I get home; I've already seen a few pictures.
A cool thing just happened ... out of the blue, Josh Lambert, a former student of mine walked up and said "Hi." He took my linear algebra class back in 2002, and he tells me he still refers to my textbook now and then when he teaches the course. He's a math professor now, I forget where at the moment, and he researches graph theory. It's pretty cool to find out I've influenced a former engineering major in his eventual evolution to greater pursuits (i.e. mathematics).
