a breath of fresh air

now that the four people in the world who follow this blog have all commented, i can breath a sigh of relief. i know, i know. some people may occasionally pass this way on the internet highway but don't feel inclined to sign the comments. that's ok. really. no guilt trip here!
a bit of a preview: amanda decided to get a 2007 honda fit. sport model, red with black interior. want to bet on the first speeding ticket we get? the upside is it gets 38-44 mpg on the highway. not bad for a non-hybrid (fyi, we looked at hybrids but couldn't fit the extra $6k in our budget). amanda is designing camps for the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (www.mprpd.com). i'm slugging away at some papers on deep-sea crabs and dead whales. these manuscripts should be submitted soon. not much else is going on. i have a conference in seattle end of this month to learn some more methods/statistics for estimating genetic trees (i.e., a scam so i can go to pike's fish market to watch the flying fish!)
i also had a chance to watch the colbert speech last week thanks to the wifi now eminating from our neighbors house. i recommend it if you are of the 68% persuasion who disapproves of the president.
