My wife's annual tradition.

Today is Epiphany, the Christian holiday traditionally associated with the visit of the Magi to Jesus. It's also a reminder that, sometimes, disobeying the government is a holy thing.

This was a nice surprise today.

Presenting the work of our students at a workshop at NC State today.

We used US census data to commit this atrocity. This is why privacy matters.

The tradition continues.

Well, that's one way to start the new year ... (For the record, I'm the one on the left.)

Cleaning my office this morning. I may have a drinking problem ...

This is home. Thanks be to God.
