alright, Rachel, I caved
I finally caved and created a blog. So, to my extensive fanbase, I hope you enjoy. I'm not promising that I will post regularly. I'm shooting for about the posting frequency of Jill or my sister (I don't pretend to aspire to Rachel's almost daily posting, although I might if I were as bored at my job as she is at hers...).
Anyway, I've been in California for the past two weeks. I visited Stanford (which was really really nice) and Berkeley (which was really really weird). The hardest thing will be getting a high enough Physics GRE score to get into any bigtime school, seeing as I don't have a few of the classes that I need to take for it. However, Calvin got a perfect score, which is good, because had he done average or above average with a degree in physics, I would not have been confident about my chances. Plus, with a Ph.D. from Stanford, I would be expected to win a Nobel Prize or something, and I'm just not sure I'm that excited about doing research. Anyway, don't tell any of the various admissions committees that. I've also been out on a houseboat for a week and at a cabin in the moutains for a few days ("it's nice to go to the cabin..."). I learned to waterski, also, which is quite a lot of fun. Right now I'm sitting in Kim's old roommate's (Stina) house watching the end of the Rangers' game and listening to Stina snore on the ground. It's hot in Arizona -- today was a very mild day because it only got up to 104 or so...so don't move here.
Alright, that's all for now. Probably no one will read this for a while, since no one knows it exists yet. Further bulletins as events warrant.

Yay! Not only did you start a blog, but I'm even featured in the title of your inaugural post! Such an honor.
yay for a shout-out to me right out the gate, and yay for us potentially getting PhDs at Stanford together! (if i'm one of the 4-5 they accept out of 3000 applicants...)
I'm glad I found your site. Now maybe I will go through and leave a bunch of comments.
