Its been a while since I wrote here... but I just wanted to write and say, I'm happy.
I'm very happy that I get paid to go sit and think on this beautiful campus.
As if that is not enough I get to live right across the street from it in a beautiful high-ceilinged apartment, a block away from the river on the other side.
Somehow there is a little piece of ann arbor---an idyllic college town---trapped inside of New York city.

The dead decayed feeling I got at IBM research is absolutely gone. I feel excited about what I'm working on, learning a gob of things all day. This is what I want to do.
