   Fun fact: I bought this cup in Geneva, Switzerland in the summer of 1998 when I spent the summer working at CERN before starting graduate school. I needed a reusable coffee cup since I was drinking a lot of CERN coffee. I have kept it ever since. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1405881677986123777/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/72263

   Every day I wake up - the sun shining through the gaps in the blinds in the windows, birds singing their morning songs, an surrounded by the warmth of family - I am reminded of a simple truth of my life: I fucking hate memory management in C .

   After a two week break, it was great to be refreshed and back at SMU to start summer research with one of the 4 students I will be working with this summer. Looking forward to ramping up work with the others and getting into a regular work rhythm again.

    I was so happy that @profcooley and I could welcome a few current or future graduate students to our home for a cookout. It was great to catch up with people in person and to just be able to be people again.

    That special feeling when you get to talk about Fermat's Last Theorem with a nephew or niece.

      "Unca Steve, I heard about something called 'Fermat's Last Theorem', I guess you probably know something about that?"

      @clacke In my defense, HE brought up the Pythagorean Theorem. I just ran it to it's natural conclusion. :-)

    The other troopers of this season are the potato plants that sprouted from a single half of one potato I planted a few weeks ago. This thing is growing fast and I am optimistic about a good crop of potatoes this time. https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/

    After moving the lemon trees into a small popup greenhouse, one of the trees produced fruit for the first time in 7 or so years. Looks like a bumper crop of lemons for this year! https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/

    First loofah plants of the season have popped! I had four seeds ultimately sprout and trimmed away the three smallest. https://www.instagram.com/accounts/login/

    We can't be right all the time. It is important to have the courage (or temerity) to be wrong for the right reasons so you can earn being right for the best reasons. Dirac could not have known then what would happen to field theory in the 1960s. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1395874623754022918/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/72087
