Two of my former students are getting married today - Sarah and Tyler. I will attend their reception this evening where I am sure I will also see a bevy of other EM alumni that remain close to them. Sarah and Tyler are not the first pairing to come out of our program, there have [...]

I had a brilliant idea a month or so back. Well, let me qualify brilliant - brilliant by my standards...at least in that moment. I must qualify my use of the word brilliant as I am fairly sure that many others will merely shake their heads and wonder aloud about how I was able to [...]
