It's so refreshing to hear people you respect say that your research is all but worthless.
In completely unrelated news, got the phone call from Appel about flit/twelf munging.

Talked to Lea for a bit, since she was in the office. Got another recommendation to read "Life of Pi". Guess I have no choice.

Book guy had "Motel of the Mysteries", which is only like the funniest book ever. I remember reading it in like 2nd grade. David MacCaulay is so awesome.
