Back in Ithaca for over a week now. Mac and I had a wonderful prairie Christmas with my family, tumbleweed tree and all. Now back to root processing in the lab and two correspondance classes in microeconomics and accounting to finish up before my last semester of school starts.

While economics may not always be the most applied subject, it's practical wisdom glimmers through now and again. Yesterday I learned that minimizing costs isn't the best way to maximize profits.
