...and I'm grading tests. My students seem to have done alright.

I'm tired but mostly happy. The numerical experiments that I started however many years ago look like they are going to bear fruit. The compute cluster where my advisor has time is chugging away on some penultimate computations. I still need to do a final refinement, but then I think that I will have some really solid data and at least two publications. 

Theory is going well as well. I was talking to my advisor last Friday and I had an idea. Sunday and Monday I verified that my idea would work out. Today I told my advisor about the results  and he said that it would be a publishable result. Really it would be a publishable observation. The important thing is that no one has made this observation before. Where the last paper was a multi-year long battle through horrible, horrible estimates, this paper (note more likely) would be an easy-breezy few pages with an argument not much more sophisticated than, "Well if your pet is a dog, then you have a mammal as a pet."  

Back to grading epsilon-delta proofs.
