The MIT Powers That Be announced this morning that the Institute will be officially closed from Christmas to New Year's. Starting with the usual Christmas holiday on Thursday, Dec. 25, 2003; reopening Monday, January 5, 2004.

Additional paid vacation time!

This is in conjunction with announcement of a salary freeze, "staff reductions" over the coming year, etc. Still! Dude! Where shall we go? :-)

(Okay, in all likelihood I'll use it to make some kind of pilgrimage to Indiana... but who knows?)

... to steal a subject line from [livejournal.com profile] drsnark. Better than "Misc.", anyway.

1. My friend Jennifer had her baby on Saturday! It's a girl! Baby naming this coming Shabbat, so I will venture out to Minyan Shalem.

2. Carsten came over for a while last night. I was glad to see him. I think I may have managed to get his mind off Arisia for about five whole minutes. It's unclear, though. :-)

3. Went to Grill 23 tonight for [livejournal.com profile] ablock's birthday dinner. It was, as we say, Varray Nice. I had a gorgeous beef tenderloin in a port wine reduction. Wow.

4. There was more, I know there was... Oh! The nice lady from the BJFF called me this morning to inquire as to whether I might like any more tickets for The Hebrew Hammer. Why, yes I would, I said, and promptly bought another 15. So this assuages my guilt over pre-reserving a majority of the tickets before my group even got a crack at them :-) Additional (or tentative) folks who are still interested, let me know!
