One of my co-workers said something to me today that really got my mind rolling.

"Doctor" I said. "Do you know what the difference in the test quality is for values of increasing dead oil viscosity?"

The Doctor, a final term Ph.D candidate said. "No, sorry, I'm not really familiar with it."

so naturally I continued. "Geeze, some Doctor you are."

"Well I don't know everything!" He laughed. "The smartest people aren't the ones who know a lot. The smartest people on the planet are those that know how and where to find everything."

Then the conversation went into how google maybe the smartest entity on the planet.... and then of course it rang home, they made their billions inside of 10 years. Not too shabby.. and super wealther is definately a quality exhibited by the smartest of people.

Today has taken an interesting turn.

My ultra urban bachelor pad, which I have worked hard for 2 years to define as my own is gone.

In it's wake is a new 1,600 sqft two bedroom apartment. Same building, same people, same beautiful location, just twice as big.


The catch... my soon to be room mate... my brother.

I'm not regretting telling my parents it was ok. I think he really does want to try hard at academics and get into medschool. I think a move will be good for him.

I just hope this is more than a split second feeling for him.
I hope it's a determination that here to last.

I'm slightly sad. I've lost a lot today.
just a balance for the weekend I guess.
