An wuz teh Bayesian inference thingy eben cloase???

Although so menee ov mai frenz an famblee are in teh – akameia whirled – ai am nawt, n nebber has been – cept fur teh three summers ai tawt fur teh University of Miami’ Summer Mewskig program in Salzburg. So – ai wuz moar tahn upset to thing that ai mite hav dun sumthing reelee awful.

But she did menshun. . .ummm. . .Bayesian inference. Is that what goes bump in teh nite???

An – to maek madders werse – ai menshuned her reel nayme. AND said she wun’t interested in teeching. an SHE said – what if she wuz applying fur a position taht required teechin – which moast of them doo (liek yrs, purrhaps) – an if they did a google seerch, which they mite – an saw that – which they cud – it mite resulrt in her nawt getting a gd jb.

Ai has alreddee ritin to the burgers an asked them to remoove hur nayme. Heop they can do it.

But darn. She LOVE Sherlock Holmes. But – until her naym is goan (an ai hope they can doo it) ai had bedder say no moar.

But – it did seem liek such fun. So – ar yoo a cheezfren yet. Purrhaps AI can findout hoo yoo reelee ar teh eezee way!!!!! An ai cud just tell her!!!

O.O Yez YEz YEZ u r….dont pummel me plzkthnx

Ai just stands tehre an says – “Oh, how wunnderful yoo ar” – but awnlee becuas ai relee meen it.

An ai agree. Ai watch yoo awl the tiem wif – complete awe an admirashun.

Ai onlee wish ai cud doo it too. But it iz verree fun fur mee to bee abul to be bai yur syde. Ai don’t mind taht yoo ar the shining wun.

Fro riche Romulus to Rome ricchis hym swythe,
With gret bobbaunce that burghe he biges vpon fyrst,
And neuenes hit his aune nome, as hit now hat;
Tirius to Tuskan and teldes bigynnes,
Langaberde in Lumbardie lyftes vp homes,
And fer ouer the French flod Felix Brutus
On mony bonkkes ful brode Bretayn he settez
wyth wynne,
Where werre and wrake and wonder
Bi sythez hatz wont therinne,
And oft bothe blysse and blunder
19 Ful skete hatz skyfted synne.
20 Ande quen this Bretayn watz bigged bi this burn rych,
21 Bolde bredden therinne, baret that lofden,
22 In mony turned tyme tene that wroghten.

Sorree to bee so long – mai pyooter iz nawt behaving – safari keeps “quitting suddenlee” an ov corse ai has no idea whai, or what ai cud/shud doo about it. Purrhaps it wil fix itself!

Jan iz akshullee verree funnee, too. a drai wit – but a wit, nebbertheless.

Ai’m still laffing at yur exampul. Ai think ai mite send this to him. Ar yoo a Purrrrfessor tooo??

Oh – an ai must say – those things yoo doo that bump into eech otter sounds verree – ummm – incomprehensibul. I mite tell yoo, tho, that gibbocat told mee he thot yoo were wun ov the verree funniest peepl heer. It wuz yoo, an Mary O’ and lolcatburglar taking teh top honors!!

But he iz a Purrfessor ov English (emeritus now) at teh University ov Utah – an ai spekz he just cudn’t rap hiz hed around teh thot taht wee doo it fur fun.

Hmmmph again. Old fuddee duddee!!!

Ai am currentlee nawt speeking to him. Ai mentioned him sumtiem bak when Jack Deth rote sumthing about Urban Legends. An D Marie an Duffy got awl eggsiated becuz they said they had awl of his buks – in hardbak!!1

An ai thot it wud bee nice if he rote a liddle sumting to them thanking them fur their kind remarkz about his buks. AN HE WUDN’T DO IT!! Said he cudn’t PAWSIBLEE rite awn a place where peeple tawked liek that!!!

An ai had asked him as a purrsonal favor. Hummmph!!!

OK!!! Ai’m going to do it. An ask hur to tiem teh research! But – she’s in Sweden an shurlee asleep now!!

And yes – yoo shud go. If AI cud sign up – enebuddy can! Of corse, it took quite a wile – becuz – akshullee – ai think ai traied at leest twice befoar ai succeeded. But lots ov peeple ar there – including Maus.

An then yoo awnlee has to figure out how to do teh commints – sumthing ai havn’t quite mastered yet. But teh beautee part is – you can alwayz contact wun ov yur frenz heeer via email if yoo want to REELEE speek to them. An that way, no wun will get lost.

Ai hav found that ai hav grown far to fond ov menee ov these peeple heer to want to lose them again.

But – if yoo havn’t met her, how do yoo know taht wun of her colleagues usta wurk in teh same place as yoo?

Did yoo know that, as an undergrad, she was FOUR times MVP awn teh women’t soccer team?? She wuz a totallee awsum athlete.

An yoo may also be pleezed to know that her husband is a bonafie wearer ov the propeller hat. He recentlee finished his Bachelor’s degree in computer Science.
J. used to joke that she fell in love wif him because of his reelee big. . reference library. And it’s troo. Menee ov those book are currentlee being sotred in the nawty barn.

Yes – teh nawty barn iz reel – did yoo know that? I’m nawt shur how long you have been heer, ackshullee. Do yoo know how the nawty barn got started.

An – yoo ar – since yoo hav students – a teecher??? An might ai ask what your speshultee iz?

An are yoo awn cheezfrenz?? Becus if yoo know J. – or – ov hur, then she must know hoo yoo ar too – but since AI dont’ know – I can’t telll her! that ai kow you too!!1!

Ai asked yoo befoar – but ai don’t think yoo thot ai wuz serious. Namelee – ar yoo reelee a biologist? Ai’m asking becuz mai (amaizing an wunnderful) niece J. iz – speshultee wuz herpetology – but seems to me she wuz wurkin awn DNA things. . .but ai’m never quite shur waht she’s reelee talking about.

We hav a copee ov her Doctoral thesis – an ai can maek out teh “an” “the” “but” – but moastle iz quite mystifying. But hey – ai’m a mewsishun/singer/director. . .ai don’t need to know it!!1

but she goes to a lot ov conferences too, giving papers an . . .papers, Ai noe it’s probablee a hewj giant whirled ov biologists out there – but – in teh theatre whilred, it duzznt’ take much to find aquaintences in common.

She’s currentlee at teh University ov Uppsala in Sweden (fur 2 yeers) werking with a “whilred famous sinetist.” – tho ai think it must meen “whilred ov biologists. . .

Reserach iz her gayme. An J. iz her nayme. She dusn’t want to teech.
