Good Day, Bad Day
Good News
I had an email from the incoming president of my professional society. This is someone whom I have worked with on a committee and he wrote that he was so impressed with what I accomplished there that he wanted my suggestions for speakers to invite to an upcoming lecture series. "Not the usual suspects." he said. I'm very flattered by his request.
Bad News
My best friend's house was burgled while he was at the at the movies yesterday. It was probably a junkie; they grabbed a camera, two watches and an Apple laptop. leaving a big screen TV behind. There is an alarm system, but it somehow malfunctioned and failed to notify the central monitoring station. The thief trashed a couple of rooms while tipping out the contents of drawers. The police came and managed to pull a couple of good prints. Interesting; my buddy is German and learned to type in German... and his Macbook has a German keyboard. Which should make it pretty easy to identify if it ends up in a pawn shop.... or on eBay.
