New Orleans Joint Mathematics MeetingsI'm going to New Orleans. Every year many thousands of mathematicians get together and have a great time for about four days. I should have a lot more fun this time. Last year in Washington D.C., I was interviewing for jobs and had something like 13 interviews in three days. Very stressful. This year, I'll go to a lot of talks, go to Bourbon Street and hang out with friends. If you are going to be at the joint meetings and want to say, "Hi!"
let me know. I know Doug Drinen will be there and there are likely some other statheads as well. The conference will be in the Sheraton and Marriott's downtown, so if you have a low tolerance for geeks you may want to steer clear.
