We dropped Christian off at the NCSU library of Friday night after dinner at a restaurant in Cameron Village, then made our way over to the Raleigh Little Theater to see The Man Who Came to Dinner. It was a great play. Kelly said she loved it, but has a special place in her heart for Charlie’s Aunt which we have seen twice, once here in Raleigh and once at the community theater in Albany, Oregon. It was a great play and a super good time with the Stepps. We all decided we have to do it again soon. Christian, for his part, found that almost no one goes to a university library on a Friday night. He said it was little bit creepy up on the ninth floor of a totally empty building at 10:30 PM. He said it was even creepier going down the stairwells on his way out.
Kelly and I went to our bi-weekly GaugeCam meeting on Saturday. It was great to have Andrew back. It is not the same without him. We made some great progress and Kelly got some private tutoring from Dr. Birgand on the R statistical programming language. In the meantime, Christian headed back to the NCSU library for another long session which he continued when we got home in the afternoon. He continued after church on Sunday and should be able to finish the thing up tonight. I am sure his paper on the cipher machine used by the Japanese in World War II called Purple will benefit from his herculean effort. I did not even know something like Purple existed, but I get to proofread the paper tonight, so I expect to know a lot more shortly. It sounds very interesting.
