Day 410 of 1000

Romney 1st Debate DoodleLorena, Kelly, and I listened to the debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney last night.  Christian was too busy hacking together a new build for his Nook with a more recent Linux kernel.  I scanned a couple of the doodles from Kelly’s sketch book that she did during the debate.  She is still asleep (almost 9 AM) because it is the first day of something called Fall Break for Kelly, Christian, and Lorena.  I do not ever remember having a fall break when I was in college.  Maybe that is because I went mostly to schools with quarters while NCSU and Wake Tech both use a semester system.

I think Lorena and Kelly will hang out here most of the day, but Christian and I are going to be pretty busy.  Christian is going to run down to work with Dr. Kudenov at the Optical Sensing Lab at NCSU this afternoon.  Of course, I work, but I have a dentist appointment in the early afternoon after which I will run to the Hill Library at NCSU to do some programming for work while I wait for Christian to finish up.  I envy him the undergraduate work he is doing.  It is real science and engineering and all about discovery with a purpose.  The jury is still out, but it surely seems like he found a great project that will both teach him some tools and give him some great tools to help him in grad school.
