What Fun!

Just reporting on a few fun happenings:

Our most recent blog contest has a winner. Congratulations to Kristen, who wins Whitey's.

Our bake sale went well. We made $65.86 (there's a puzzle for you - where did the 86 cents come from, when everything on the table was 50 cents?), and there were plenty of cookies left for the Christmas party.

The Christmas party was fun, in spite of no trebuchet demo. Maybe next year. Thanks to the girls who risked alienating the chemistry department to get liquid nitrogen. Because of them, Christmas came after all, and we had LN ice cream. And plenty of it. Dr. Carkner should be proud of himself, he made so much ice cream that even Alaina and I couldn't finish it! That last scoop was more than we could handle. So much for, "There's always room for ice cream."

If anyone has photos from the party, let me know, and I'll update here.

Have a Merry Christmas everyone. See you in the new year!

Patience, patience.

I wouldn't want to jump the gun on the winter solstice (I posted now, thanks for not letting me forget).

Also, there are photos of the soapsuds explosion, and you know the conversion factor between words and pictures - it's like a thousand! I can't wait til those photos get uploaded, how about you?
