1. Summer semester began this week. I won't be teaching, but I will be meeting twice a week with two students on their Senior Projects. (One of them is writing about the solution of Pell's Equation using continued fractions; the other is tackling Pascal's Mystic Hexagram.) The first session for each was yesterday; we've got a lot of work to do, if they're to present before the end of the semester.

2. I'm once again trying to establish the habit of cooking. Today, I made a batch of Pilaff à la Grecque - rice, onions, garlic, and mushrooms cooked in chicken stock with a bit of lemon, and sprinkled with toasted almonds and raisins. (The recipe actually called for olives in the topping as well, but I left them out. I don't much like olives.) The first helping was quite good, with a certain bite to it that previous pilafs I've made haven't had.

3. You know you've been playing altogether too much Skyrim when, watching a video on YouTube, you keep twitching the mouse, trying to change the POV. Also, you find yourself hitting the Escape key when you're done reading a web page. It's a lot of fun....
