A group of us tried to go to the Koi Palace for dim sum last Sunday. Outside the place it was madness. There was this huge throng of people waiting to get in. Luckily Jo had thought to bring Apples to Apples, which we played on the porch of the Outback Steakhouse next door. After 45 minutes of waiting for a table, we gave up and ate steak for breakfast. It wasn’t dim sum, but it wasn’t a crushing defeat either.
Also, Emma is visiting this week! We went on an awesome faculty ghetto walk the other night to the playground, where we played tag. Doug renounced the teleportocracy in favor of the tagocracy. In the tagocracy, it is socially acceptable to start a game of tag at any point. For example, you might be sitting in a lecture hall and someone might touch you and quietly say “tag”, where upon you are then “it”. In the tagocracy tagbacks are punishable by death.
Happy Mother’s Day to all.””
