Go Nuts!

I thought i would go for a blog-break in between preparing my slides for a conference talk tomorrow and writing des lettres de recommandation.

About that, i must confess that i always find it hard to write these letters unless i really want to :-P. Like one of these letters is for one of my recent top students, a student that graced our dept. as well as the Summa Cum Laude list and all profs dote on him equally. Funny how the good students are also the most modest ones, par exemple, he emails..."Dear Dr. X, would you do me the honor of writing me...". I am like, "Oh, hell ya, i will do you the honor", lol. Ahem, of course what i wrote instead was a rather subdued "It will be my pleasure, student Y".

haha.

Anywho, i am happy to report that the heat wave is somewhat thwarted and the prediction for today's high is 90 degrees F. I am using fans to keep cool, as well as 4 helpings of fruits and nuts. Currenly i am on walnut & strawberry, watermelon, grapes and cherries. Did i tell you that i am nuts about nuts? haha, if you ever wondered about the secret of my fountain of youth, it just could be them nuts. Seriously, i gotta have 'em nuts, and fruits and chocolates and whipping creams and ice creams... What's life without a little indulgence, eh? Mais actuellement ces noix sont très bonnes pour garder sa santé. Check out this nutty report http://health.msn.com/nutrition/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100205362&page=1 if you don't believe me!

Oh man, i miss mr. jones...ok, calm down silly girl. Go take a cold shower, lol!
