2008 Prognostication Quiz: Post 11 of 12

I've waited and waited, but I just don't think we're going to have another hurricane. The hurricane season ended on November 30, but I still held out hope. It was quite a teaser when Paloma turned into a hurricane the first week of last month. That was the eighth of the season. One more hurricane would have meant that I would not end up alone at the bottom of my first annual quiz. That ninth hurricane was not forthcoming. I must finally admit defeat. The answer to question 11 is C. Eleven people predicted this: Matthew B., Sandy, Pete, Megan, Jodene, Jeremiah, Laura, Beth Z., Liz, Jorge, and Rachel.

The eight hurricanes settles two of the intra-relationship grudge matches. With that final extra point, Liz passes Jeff (3 to 2), and Megan passes Rob (4 to 3). (Katie was already going to beat me 2 to 1, Ryan had already squeaked ahead of Heather on a better tiebreak, and Jodene completely thrashed Oraldo 4 to 2.)

This, then, is likely to be the final top of the leaderboard:

1. Matthew B.
2. Sandy
3. Pete
4. Eric
5. Megan
6. Grant
7. Jodene
8. Ekrem

Everyone is invited to join in next year's quiz, too! It has a couple extra questions and will be coming out on Monday, December 29. I will keep everyone posted!

Can You Cross Your Toes?

Katie and I had a heated discussion the night before last. We were sitting on the couch watching Jon Stewart when she noticed a large, apparently cancerous growth sticking out of the bottom of my foot. She asked what the big lump in my sock was. "That's my toe," I responded, nonplussed. I had crossed my first and second toes, causing a lump to protrude from the bottom of my sock. Katie was quite alarmed. "You can cross your toes?" "Sure, can't you? Everyone can cross their toes!" "Of course I can't cross my toes. Who can cross their toes?" And I confirmed that Katie could not, in fact, cross her toes. Even manipulating her toes with my fingers, I could not get her toes to stay crossed. She just has very short toes. That led, of course, into a discussion of who was the freak. Were my long, crossable toes abnormal, or were her stubby, uncrossable phalanges the outliers? In case you're confused, here are some pictures. First, of my v...

Max the Model

Katie sometimes talks to Max about all the things he can grow up to be. "Will you grow up to be a scientist like Daddy, or a lawyer like Mommy?" she will query. In recent days, though, we think Max might aspire to be a model. He LOVES the camera. Point it in his direction, and he is mesmerized by the big lens, giving it a big smile. He will sit for long series of photographs, changing his expressions constantly so we'll be sure to get a good one. This is Katie's recent favorite series (mostly because she thinks he looks so cute in the outfit): This is my favorite series, based purely on the dynamic range of emotions that Max is capable of. I am especially fond of the last picture. So cute!

A Little Night Music

I've been in Boston this week at a scientific conference. I've spent nearly all of my time at the conference, but was able to get away a couple of times to see friends. One night off I went out for pizza with Ekrem and Leanne (and their adorable kids). We went to Stone Hearth Pizza , whose head chef is the brother of Bob, one of my labmates in Minneapolis. (He wasn't at the restaurant the night we went, sadly.) Ekrem and Leanne are moving to their new house in a week, and I helped them out by consuming the remainder of a bottle of scotch that they keep at their house for me. I felt very proud of myself for accomplishing this noble task. Last night I went to see Andrea perform in Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music , one of my favorite musicals. Beforehand, I had dinner with fraternity friends Jan, Jeannie, David, Emily, and Ian. Dinner conversation was wonderful in that MIT-nerdy way that I greatly miss sometimes. At the end of the meal, for example, my fortune coo...
