Pete's Log: the bmoore-inator comes to town

Entry #1375, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 26 years old.)

First, a correction: in my previous entry I stated that four out of my four computers at work run Windows. This was incorrect. Only three of my four computers run Windows. The fourth runs Linux. I apologize for the error.

Branden (bmoore) came to the DC area this past weekend. He had an interview in Crystal City. I was going to take the Metro to meet him at his hotel, but he called me just before I got on a train and told me his plane had run out of fuel and had landed at Dulles instead of at National like it was supposed to. So I drove out there and picked him up. It wasn't until we were getting onto the Beltway from Dulles that I realized I had no idea where we were going. I knew how to get to his hotel from the Crystal City Metro station, but not by road. So we drove around somewhat randomly, using what little knowledge I had of that area. But we found the hotel, so all ended well.

We met up with Tom Keeley, Kevin Landers, and an ND senior who was also out interviewing (he was in the Discrete class I taught, but I'm blanking on his name right now). Fun times.

I live just over 4000 miles from where I was born.

I signed up for the Yamasaki tournament. I've got a week and a half left to prepare. Four classes between now and then. We shall see how it goes.
