Batting 1000
Yesterday was an excellent day for meeting people. The karma started with being asked out by the guy next to me in the DMV line. (Seriously?!) I did not pursue that angle! However, later I met up with a friend of a friend who is getting a PhD in physics at Case. He also happens to be a gamer and a bicyclist -- check and check! Then the two newbies in my house joined S at a party of the international folks. Turns out the international students have regular meetups and thus you get an interesting mix of physics, engineering, and medical students from everywhere between Ireland and Iran. On stepping up to the question "does anyone know bachata?" I discovered an excellent salsa dancer/ biomedical engineer who happens to know all the salsa places in town -- check!

Okay, I think I just covered contacts in several of my chosen hobbies. So far, so good!
