My sister Bevin and her sweetie Sean (who is a sweetie) arrived for a couple days on Sunday afternoon. (They had had a wedding in Western Mass to go to.) We had a great time! Bevin and
Monday evening
Bevin and Sean left early Tuesday morning to drive back to Raleigh. It was great to see them, and I hope my next opportunity is soon.
And Tuesday night
Oh, and a work-related coda: Today at work we got a tour of our new building. The walls aren't up yet on my new office, but it's framed. I think the building is going to be a really nice space to spend my work days in, and the systems group's space as a whole is going to be laid out much more conveniently than it is now. (For instance, our offices will be on the same floor as the machine room, and the student volunteers' space will be right across the hall.) And as we were walking back to our (current) building afterwards, we walked past Mike Dukakis, who is a professor at Northeastern now (or teaches a class or two, anyway). David (my boss) says that he's a really nice guy.
