Erdös number

Thanks to Toni's new publication with Dr Colbourn, it seems she gets to have an Erdös number of 2. And, since we have a couple of papers together, it must mean I suddenly have an Erdös number 3!

It felt too good to be true. Even Dr Partha has an Erdös number of 3! It was only later, on reading the official page about who gets to be in the Erdös project graph, that I realized only mathematical papers would be considered. Ah, well.

I had so much time in ASU. And Dr Lai (one of the professors on my thesis committee) was from the mathematics department as well. If only I had made better use of my time and advisers, I could have had an honest Erdös number 3 ! (staring into the past wistfully....)

Another paper published!

Albeit a little late, one more paper I worked on (alongwith Dr Nong Ye, Toni Farley and Xueping Li) while at Arizona state university got published ! Calls for a little celebration!

wow

My friend Jeff (from arizona) and Annabelle had a baby today! Congratulations, both of you, although I doubt if you will read my post here.

Graduating class!
