Swope, then and now...

We would be remiss if we didn't comment on the incredible changes at Swope.

A few years ago, the hydrophobic towels were replaced with the truly absorbent variety, which was a major improvement. Pushing water around your skin is kind of weird.

This year, the dining experience has been, well, transformed. Yes, the whole kitchen area is rebuilt. But the food! There is a selection, and it is in fact pretty good (ok, I have not tested any mayonnaise containing preparation-- maybe next year). Our regards and appreciation to all involved. Of course this has, in combination with the demands of quantitative approaches, substantially limited Phusion time. In the end, that is good.

A great transformation...
