Choices...

We had a candidate here last week for the geology faculty position. She gave a presentation on something that I didn't really follow. She showed LOTS of data and sounded like she was reading from a very technical textbook. Today another candidate gave a presentation, and I have to wonder how he got a Ph.D. He hardly had any data at all. His concept was so simple it was rediculous, and instead of a textbook, I think he was reading a bedtime story. Which is worse? I sure hope there are some more choices.

On a happier note, I now have keys to my new place! The furnature will arrive shortly.
