Ruth got an awesome new haircut. Happened a couple of weeks ago, but I’m slow about getting things off of our camera. Then Adrianne went and did this, and I was all, “Psssh. You think that’s a haircut? I got your haircut.”

After:

Couple more nice after pictures here and here.

Pictures of our awesome, if diminutive, Christmas tree. We probably won’t be sending out cards this year, but we hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, and gets to spend as much time as possible with their favorite friends and family.

We’ve got a sizable backlog of pictures to upload. Only getting to it now because I found a swell photo organizer/uploader for Linux called F-Spot. Previously, I used the “Gallery Remote” program which works with the web gallery on TBND. But a) it sucks and b) it breaks when I update Ubuntu, and hasn’t worked in months.

Anyway, here are exemplars for and links to three new galleries:

The LA Angles/Chicago White Sox baseball game we went to, way back on May 4th. Angels won. We got visors. Yay.

Walking on the beach in Corona Del Mar with Ruth’s brother Leon, who came to visit the weekend of May 26th.

Ruth finishing her first 5k run, on June 2nd. On one of the pictures you can see her crossing the finish line, along with her time: a totally impressive first-ever 5k time of 00:27:26.

Ruth found out today that she’s had her first paper accepted by a journal! Co-authored with Matt Lattal and her advisor (Marcelo Wood), it will appear as a “brief communication” in an as-yet unidentified future edition of Behavioral Neuroscience.

Woot!

In case you haven’t heard, Ruth recently won a training grant awarded to two students each year from the INP and MGBG programs. As far as we can tell, the competition is pretty stiff, but either way we’re very excited, because it saves her and her advisor from having to worry about funding.

Also, the Bayes’ All-Stars are killing it. That’s us with the 50, and our opponents with the 20. Also, we’re getting a big lift tomorrow, when our astrophysicist comes back from illness. Because no intramural basketball team worth its salt can go without its astrophysicist for too long.
