Super busy day… Would begin got canceled which gave me a chance to squeeze in a little Christmas shopping. I was able to combine that with a meeting with a new friend, Anshula Who had been introduced to me by my friend Peggy. The two of them ran into each other in Mexico. Anshula Is a research associate and Mit is looking for ways of collaborating with us. I took advantage of the free time for the two of us to walk down to the MIT Museum as we talked. That allowed me to get a little shopping in and allowed me to show her my favorite museum.

There’s a great exhibit there by Arthur Canson… He makes these elaborate mechanical machines that are pure joy to look at

Later tonightI met my friend Hendrik and a visiting colleague of his, Felix… A 20-year-old PhD student who is visiting from Koblenz . Nice sushi dinner…

The walk home was brutal… It must be about 10° with a 25 mile an hour wind. It Feel so much like home that I miss you even more

Nite all? Nite sam
