Simon! Just the kind of person who deserves an exclamation point after his name, every time. One of my favorite Simon stories (this is all hearsay, of course) dates back to the mid-late 1990's. Simon commuted most days from their home in Palo Alto at the time to Stanford by bike. One day, he happened to have a PhD defense to attend (name no names). Apparently, he was so worked up about something in the thesis he had just read that he rode his bike into a parked car en route to the defense. Now that, my friends, is commitment to excellence.Simon! Wishing you the happiest of birthdays and fewer impacts over the next 50 years!

Thank you Laura - in my recollection, neither my pants nor the car were quite so blue, and in my own defense, it was parked on the street, I wasn't riding off-road. But ultimately Jaime's thesis maps must take all the blame, even if the insurance company didn't see it that way.
