Events

On June 27th, the first day of my current work at PSU, I was standing in our cramped basement lab holding a beaker of deuterium oxide, titanium sulfate, and sulfuric acid, when all of the sudden, out of the corner of my eye I spied a skinny and vaguely familiar Jewish boy walking quickly down the corridor, snickering with a companion who looked equally out of place in our basement (nearly everyone is Chinese, and I think that half of those who aren't are Japanese). I had the compulsion to run out the door shouting, "Abraham!" but the toxic, black sludge in my hand restrained me. I half hoped that he was working with us, at the time, but such was not the case. I thought perhaps he was working with Dr. Jiao, a.k.a. "Dragon Lady" according to Seth Kadish, who had a slightly dysfunctional REU experience with her a couple years ago. But alas, I never saw him again in the basement... but this state won't do! So, Abraham, I work in the basement; my "office" is in room 39; send me an email: adam@appmagic.com; we should get together for lunch sometime; I know all the best food carts and lunch specials in the university district, west end, and well, all the greater downtown Portland area I suppose.
