The Third Bit

Today I:

• Clicked the “submit” button on my first major grant application.
• Got my first copy of Beautiful Code (picture below).
• Sold a science fiction story to On Spec magazine.
• Finished [sic] rewriting the introduction to the first-year Python book we’ve been working on.
• Lost a game of chess (came out on the short end of a messy trade).

I’m now heading out to the pub with students and colleagues. Life isn’t bad.

Later: about forty people showed up at the pub. Madeleine was, of course, the hit of the party Thanks to Serguei for the photo below.
