dabney is the awesome

really cool thing happened today. aparently a current member of the house (rising sophomore) is in town today, and asked to meet me based on the fact that i still post on the mailing list from time to time, and he knew i was here. what's even more amusing is that it turns out that he (josh skrzypek, i think i got all the consonants in there right) is actually deborah estrin's son, and she was here for henri's thesis defense.

but we had lunch together, and it was a lot of fun to talk about things, the house past and present, random stuff about schools and grad school, and such. i guess that's pretty much all there is to say, except just that i'm again amazed at how cool it is to have a community like this, where even though certain members haven't even met each other, you've already got friends all over the place (sometimes in very unlikely places). pretty sweet.
