After the students took their final exam, they had mentioned we should have a happy hour together and drink some beer.  I suggested Villa Moranda.  None of the students had been there before, but were very pleased with the, ahem, selection. 

Pictured directly across from me is one of my most enthusiastic students, Jose Emiliano.  He has been a software guru working with Java for a long time, and is just now getting back into electronics.  Hence my nickname for him became Java Man.

He also informed me that my laugh is quite similar to the one that Yogi Bear has in Brazil.  I proceeded to inform him that I thought he bore a resemblance to Yogi’s accomplice, Booboo.  He informs me one day he will write the guaranteed best seller, Specman for Dummies. 

I am sad to leave Campinas and the many friends I made there, but will be glad to get back home to Austin.  Tchau!
