True things learned today:

• The Au Bon Pain on campus sucks on Suday afternoons.


• For the same reason (campus is dead), the best place and time to do any serious studying on campus is the Stata Center on a Sunday afternoon. Big, huge tables, fascinating architecture, readily-accessible power plugs, and almost zero foot traffic.


• Legal Sea Foods does take-out! A pint of clam chowder will set you back about six bucks, but that's enough for a really, really decent-sized meal.


• I get a lot of email. I just spent over three hours trying to whack a ton of it – over fifty emails that deserved some degree of attention. Jeez.
