Sc-Sc-Sc-Sc-Sc-Sc-Sc-ience!!!!!!

So, it has come to my attention that our dear friend Christopher Smith has decided, for his first publication, to publish in the distinguished journal Science (only the abstract is available, so we all have to wait for the dang thing to be actually published before we can read it and critique it...though I doubt any of us would actually be able to understand a 1/3 of it...)

But that's besides the point. I'm very happy for Chris and I want to congratulate him in this post. It is a phenomenal achievement.

Clearly, once again, he has set quite a high bar for the rest of us to catch up to him. Pretty much this is what we have to accomplish:

Monika: Raise Emma (her niece) to be the next PM.
Jess: Teach Emma on her way to becoming the next PM.
Cam: Train the next olympic gold medallist.
Matt: Discover that Sir John A. was not actually a drunk but was a teetotaller and a Communist.
Ashley: become the next Education Minister of Ontario.
Me: plan the perfect city of the future...aka...Markham.

I better get crackin'...

Hmmm... the right sentiment perhaps in terms of some of my ambition, but let us not joke about Sir John being a communist.

As for being fond of the bottle Macdonald gets too much snide attention for this. Less important is it to prove that he didn't drink, than to prove it didn't matter.

Sorry for requiring you guys to re-post comments. Just learning to figure out the whole moderating bit.

As much as I love to critique your paper, Chris, it's not exactly in my realm of expertise, but I will be interested in reading it nonetheless.

As for your comment matt...whatever, it's you being you.
