There is dear old Hammerschlag Hall. Heart and soul of Engineering life at CMU, and the building where I worked, played and tried hard not to live in. ^_^

Is that a placemat I spy? Why yes! it is! My diploma is sadly enormous. It's like the 'funny-money' diploma, I keep expecting people to ask me if I took it to kinkos and got it poster-sized.

Hard to say who is happier, mother or I. At that point in time, I'd say 'her' if only because I was hot and tired and all that.

Even though he graduated in December,Baka flew back to PA to witness my and a few other's send off. Or maybe it was just to bumb a free dinner off my folks :) .

We're sitting on the 'Turing' bench. Only at CMU would they name a bench after a computer scientist.

Me and Tom, living large at the best italian joint in town.

This boy can't take a normal photo if he tries.

I used to love 'Where's Waldo?' books, and the big viking looking fello next to me is Carl Greenley. I am not ashamed to admit, I used him as a human plow to weasle my way through the massive crowds. Carl is the man.

Dad and I left on our roadtrip to Texas shortly after graduation, we drove to St.Louis, and then south. It was pretty.

Snapping pictures of the new apartment as we were moving in. Somehow this picture amuses me.

A recent photo of kitty-chan, she's looking surprisingly awake and almost spooked! Not her usual expression I assure you, but a photo of a sleeping cat would be dull :) I think she was still all frazzled from the move.
