Huzzah!

My F32 fellowship was officially funded! So I brought beer and chocolate to the lab to celebrate. The Block lab tradition is to drink shots to celebrate such things, but Steve is off getting inducted into the National Academy, so I took the opportunity to have beer instead, because, really, who the hell wants to drink hard liquor at 4:30 in the afternoon? I brought Anchor Summer Beer and He-Brew Genesis Ale*.

*I have a theory that physicists love to talk about beer and drink beer in order to compensate for the fact that they are not engaged in the most rugged or masculine profession. It's technically masculine, in the sense that it is dominated by men. But, it lacks the musk and sweat of, say, being a lumberjack, or a stock car racer. Or even a salesman, for that matter.
