Tomorrow I am turning a hooded (not hoofed) animal; and Looking forward to that :-).

 

This morning when I walked out of home, a brisk shower has already subsided, leaving the car who has been with me for the last 6 years covered with fragrant petals. It looks as if dressed up for this trip to pick up the gowns and hoods  at the fieldhouse.

 

As someone nicely put it - it's like seeing the light on the end of channel; as another one puts it more cynically - make sure that's not the light of an incoming train :P. The final defense date is 3 weeks away and there is still a lot of work to do. It is not time for nostalgia yet - keep up the tempo.
