HOT-HOT-HOT
100 ºF was the temperature when I left work today and it wasn’t a dry heat. This is Saint Louis after all. You don’t even want to know what the heat index was. Enough though about life in Misery, I mean Missouri. Checkout the sunspots in today’s photo. I just noticed them. Let’s switch to the good news. Dave passed his preliminary examination to officially become a doctoral candidate at Purdue today. More commonly called prelims or quals, the passage of this oral exam is a major milestone in Dave’s studies at West Lafayette. I know that he has been sweating this exam for months, even when it wasn’t hot out then yet. He left school for only three days over the 4th of July holiday weekend, to join the rest of the Regan family at the cabin this summer. Maybe now he can take a breath or two. He still has to finish his dissertation and then defend it, but the end is now in sight for the coming to you soon, Doctor Dave!
What fabulous news. Congratulations to Dave. What is his field?
EB, It is Bio-Medical Engineering, with an emphasis on auditory research.
Doctor Dave?!? he’ll always be one of the Boyz of Noize to me. 😉
And to think that out of all that noise sprang Dave’s auditory research.
