Life of a systematist, nomad, and double Ph.D (or a look into the mind of someone who is questionably sane).

Food: Sunday breakfast (sliced potatoes, bacon, scrambled eggs with cinnamon syrup) fruit; steak, stuffing, asparagus, bread

Fact:Starting in the late 60's there was an approved cookbook that restaurants could pick from in Czechoslovakia.  Deviation from these 845 recipies required governmental approval.  These recipes were in quantities of 100's of servings and stressed nutrition and caloric value over taste.

Woke up and did a bit of work before having breakfast around 1400.  Spent most of the day going through thrush samples while watching superbowl xxxi (packers/patriots).  According to the announcers, the half time show wasn't very well thought out- it was in the superdome, included pyrotechnics and vehicles but the air vents were covered by banners.  The 2nd half was rather smokey, and the players were dropping like flies from the heat/fumes.  The we churched (it was delayed because Maria and Kevin were hunting for mushrooms but only found 3, an antler, a frog, and a dead bird.  Afterwards we went for an abbreviated walk since it was cold and then there was some sort of emergency at the house across the street from Valley View, but we couldn't tell if the response vehicles were turning on Valley View (which turns into our street) or not and we wanted to make sure it wasn't our house burning down! Also, planes are so rare these days we check all the flights we see. Today we had 2 flights following eachother, one was an Atlas Air 747 going from anchorage to miami so I sent Maria a picture (the other was an A-320 going from Des Moins to Punta Gorda, FL). Once we got back we turned on the first Sunday game of the 2019 season since father hadn't realized opening day was in march when he picked where the season started gamewise.
