Fifteen Minutes of Freedom.

I'm sitting in one of the DeMeritt classrooms, proctoring the first Studio Physics exam of the semester, and there are fifteen minutes left before Linearity begins. Those fifteen minutes may be increasingly stressful for the remaining students so I ought to make them as relaxing as possible for myself in order to balance the universe.

Ten minutes to go. Here is a nice article about a rocket launch from Poker Flat, Alaska:

As you may remember, we do a lot of work in collaboration with the University of Alaska Fairbanks so this article is another in the line of good lay-person descriptions of both how we do our science and what it's good for.

Five minutes left! They're a good bunch; they will do fine.

I'm going to head up to New London this evening to hang out for some delish dinner, then I'll be back in Dover on Saturday and Sunday for school-working, room-cleaning and awesome-having.

Time's up. See you later.
