hello from the ramseys

Hi all,

I'll post later with something more interesting, but I keep meaning to tell "ya'll" that Joaquin got accepted to Columbia last week. We're both working temp jobs while we wait to hear from the other schools and figure out what location will be the most financially feasible.

My in-laws should be in town today. That should be fun and involve too much food. We're trying to keep the weight off. How is everyone doing with that? We're barely succeeding in removing the weight gained in the first month of US eating. Bleh.

I must run off to my job now. I am temping at a podiatrist office where I get to see foot ulcers and try to convince old diabetics to come get their feet fixed before they have to be removed. Fun times. Joaquin gets to smash concrete with his amazing strength and then report on how weak or strong the concrete was. This is an important part of the "Materials Science" world. He also got to play with boiling sulfur or something yesterday. I was a bit too distressed to listen. And a diamond saw, whatever that means.
