We love ice cream

Val, Alice, and I ate almost enough ice cream to make us sick last night. But we just can't turn down a trip to the Dairy Bar. Janice needed to celebrate because she just presented her proposal to the Earth Sciences department. I heard through the grapevine that Janice and Nathan both did a great job. Janice is studying coarse-grained sediment transport in the lower Piscataqua River, and Nathan is looking at using GPS data to find the separation between the WGS84 ellipsoid and the tidal datum in a specific area (Bay of Fundy!).

Easter Potluck

Val and Alice hosted an Easter potluck at their house last night. It was a blast, we got to eat lots o' food, and then we dyed eggs! Here's a picture of everyone before the meal, doesn't it look yummy? Val and Alice made paella, John and I brought John's special black bean/cilantro salad, Lynn brought delicious devilled (sp?) eggs, kurt brought 2 pies, and Nathan and Alyssa brought blueberry/apple crisp. We all had a good time, and Kokua supervised the entire operation. Because she loves us.

Quote of the Day

"I got more work done on that snow day than I did all summer!" - Lynn Morgan (from Alaska)

We were talking about the possibility of getting a snow day tomorrow. There's a NOAA research scientist here at CCOM - John Kelley - who always lets us know when the storms are coming. He sent out an email this morning and it looks like we're in for a big one, starting later tonight. Keep those fingers crossed! I don't think it'll be anything like the snow day that Andrea got at MUN. But it would still be cool.
