It has been a tough week -- lots of depressing stuff going on around here. I have a friend visiting from Seattle this weekend, though, and that ought to be a nice break.

I started a new book yesterday -- Graham Greene's "The Human Factor." It's a spy novel.

I wish I had kept more pictures during my junior and senior years at Stanford. I kept photos albums during freshman and sophomore year, but I only have scattered photos from the last two years. Admittedly, I was so busy during those two years that I'm not surprised I didn't take more pictures. Senior year was my best year at Stanford, and yet I have so few pictures of it!
