Fact: George Lucas thought Close Encounters with the Third Kind would be a bigger hit than Star Wars so he traded 2.5% of Star Wars profit to Steven Spielberg if he got 2.5% of the profits from Close Encounters.  I'd say that paid off pretty well for Spielberg

Food:  PB&J for lunch, brauts and mashed potatoes for dinner

Woke up just in time for the zoom lunch with ANSP.  Almost the entire dept was there so that was a good time.  We had fun playing with the backgrounds.  Mine wasn't working until i moved to an ll white background, but I couldnt use the standard ones.  so i imported a pic from the prep lab.  Dr. Pete then took it a step further and made his looking toward the window of the prep lab with the angles looking reasonable whereas mine was a pic looking at the table from above.  Finished up the timing of the transitions for my veg lecture and then listened to it all the way through.  I answered some student emails then we went for a walk.  Did a bit of work on the Accipiter assemblies then it was time to grill our brauts.  A bit chilly out while we ate but not bad with proper outerwear.  Favorite yankee his his 100th homer- a grand slam to beat the sox is about as good as it gets
