Pat and Abel agreeing -- couldn't have asked for any better conditions up in Whistler

being "too busy" in Boston, these poor MIT grad students decided to meet up for dimsum in Vancouver instead  (archives:  2004)

(interestingly, it turns out all of us were in either CSP or Science-1 for our first year)

half hour after dimsum, I had lunch with my friend Christine at Correli's -- this just shows how much self control I have when there's food in front of me  =)

grabbed some bubble tea with my old tennis partner Brendon, reminiscing on good old times on the courts summer 2004  (archives:  2004)
