Ok, so we forgot to actually to into Waterville, but Colby was cool. Casey's first deal there was at 1:30, so we went to Freeport, Maine to shop. It's like mega shopping heaven. The best part, of course, was LL Bean. We hit all three LL Bean stores, the outlet, the retail store, and the hunting and fishing store. I bought a piece of luggage ( Read more... )

Ok, so we visited Hampshire College today. Read yesterday's comments on Northampton and basically you have Casey's reaction to Hampshire. She dubbed it the Freak Show because all of the students we met were FREAKS. We would have left the tour except Casey had an interview later, so we stuck in. Hamilton is 1200 students all working on a very ( Read more... )

Casey and I are now in Northhampton, Massachusetts getting ready for our visit tomorrow to Hampshire College. Hamilton was a very nice visit. The campus is very quiet right now, but the tour guide was very energetic. Casey was interviewed by the associate dean of admissions and their talk apparently went well. They were out for about an hour ( Read more... )

So casey and I are sitting here at Hamilton College - Haaaaaaamilton - feeling appropriately awed. The campus is hard to find and is surrounded by farms. The buildings are like old houses with hardwood floors and big fireplaces - at least that's true for the admissions building. We got lost on the way, but left suffuciently early so as to not be ( Read more... )

We're off now and sitting in quiet Utica, New York. Clinton is just up the road and there lies Hamilton College where we visit tomorrow. The visit to U of R was nice. The campus is very nice and the people were friendly. I liked the university and Casey seemed to as well. After the tour, I was a control subject in a foot study in Abbey's lab ( Read more... )

The Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Rochester has the best ribs ever. Go figure. Billed as A Genuine Honky Tonk Rib Joint with Low Smoking Blues. There's no smokin in the place other than the ribs, persuant to New York law, which is the best, too. But, the ribs were fantastic, outrageously good. The atmosphere was really cool, like old tin roof and ( Read more... )

First we go to Rochester and visit with Abbey and see the campus at U of R. On Tuesday we go to Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. On Wednesday it Hampshire College in Amhurst, .Mass. Finally, we travel to .aine ( Read more... )

I'm in Beaumont, Texas on a patent case with my good friend Wayne. He gave me some big news - he's getting married! That's a surprise. In hindsight I guess I should have known something was up. Wayne has been loosing weigh for the past six months or so and the last time he did that he was dating. Turns out he has been dating this woman for ( Read more... )

I'm home now. I spent they day cutting grass - a lot of it. The grass was really, really high since I had not cut it in weeks. Tomorrow, I need to rake up the cuttings. That's a feat considering its 6 acres. Bit, its OK ( Read more... )
