Shokufeh is... home

It's a small world after all?

So much to do. But the pressure is building to post something, since I've been MIA for two weeks almost. MrMan was sick. Then I was sick. You think we could have coordinated our lethargy a little better. I'm still not, as my husband would say, feeling 100 percent. But, I must take advantage of this one day in the week when MrMan is at daycare and I am not at my part-time job. Especially since that window of opportunity was missed last week (along with the money we paid to daycare for a child who wasn't well enough to attend, grrr). So many things to take care of around the house. But!

I must first tell you about this project I'm totally excited about. If there's one thing I get giddy about, it's the interconnectedness of everybody. I LOVE running into people I haven't seen for years, and finding out people I know by different means know one another. So I was stoked to come across a wee article in the paper today about a project that Columbia is doing: the Small World Project. It's basically a study of six degrees of separation... Kevin Bacon and all that stuff. The stuff that I love.

You go to their site and sign up and then they assign you a target that you try to connect with via your current connections (one of whom may have something in common with your target and thus may be more likely to lead to them) and their connections and so forth. You can also sign up to be a target. I've already sent my first email in hopes that it will lead me closer to my target. And submitted my profile to be screened as a target. I'm really looking forward to their study's results.

Okay, to work!
