Fall is coming, many of the trees around town are lookin' pretty colorful. Was I out enjoying them on this sunny day?? No! I was working on the Bab edh-Dhra' collection (I can hear Jamie saying "oh cry me a river, would ya!!") First Meredith and I spent some time trying to make sense of Mike Finnegan's field notes (I have no qualms about using his full name...add this to the list of things he screwed up with this collection!)Then Matt and I put together skulls. Normally my skills in this arena are non-existent, but today I was in 'the zone.' Matt's savant-like skills must have been washing over me while in his presence (tho' I should point out that he got bupkis put together in comparison to my uber-skull reconstruction output. Now, if I can have another 827 days like today, I might catch up to him...)

Maybe the lab could have some kind of fundraising skull-reassembly-a-thon. You could ask sponsors to give you a dollar for every skull you put together, and then the person who raises the most money gets...something cool. And bragging rights, obviously.
A Skull-a-thon. I like it! Who needs a cake grant, we could use this money to fulfill your dream. Shame you'll be off in Bangladesh. Too bad for you...
