Day 14: Gecko Company and Pho with the Fam (J) ........................................

So, my day at the court typically consists of doing one of two things: (1) research on my computer or (2) research down in the library.  Exciting, right?  Well, today I got a little surprise.  No, it wasn't Matt actually finishing the blog post he promised to do-- we're not that lucky.  It was this little guy on the right hanging out  under my desk!  At first, I thought it was a leaf, so I vainly tried kicking it farther under the desk because, well, I was too lazy to pick it up.  Upon further examination, however, I realized that the leaf had a tail and a head.  Sadly, it was dead, not unlike my spirit when I'm at work. But, I digress. Still, only on an island!

After the internship and a frustrating workout at the most crowded gym in the history of mankind, we met up with a few housemates for some pho at a favorite local spot. Here is the obligatory cousin shot to your right:

The pho was great, except for Matt's, who had foolishly put a couple dozen or so squirts of the chili sauce into his.  (He says his tummy-wummy hurts now.)  And, as always, the company was even better. Introducing, from left to right: Elsa, Arlene, and Tami!      (John)
