Okay, I am kinda happy about the weaseling, I have to admit. I should feel guilty, but I'm glad I didn't do the run, I'm glad my kiddo got out of the ticket (he wasn't guilty, I tell you, it was a set up), and if someone is going to get paid for not working, it may as well be me!
Now YOU have some substantial things to brag about, Celtic, that have nothing to do with weaseling.
Oh well, my kids are sick of us bragging about em, so I got nothing for you. Though I did manage to weasel out of running a half marathon, and got a great inexpensive lawyer who weaseled my youngest out of a $353 speeding ticket. I've managed to get paid for some trips I weaseled out of too.
I can only brag about the phenomenal weaseling going on in my house lately.
DS's CMU-UPitt Medical Center, Monkey Arm, was one of the features on PBS Newshour-Robotics, 06/28/2011. He did the 2nd iteration (2004), taking over the arm from a CMU graduating phD. He got the arm to work and with more fluidity. Finished it in time for Swartz (UPMC) to show off his monkey interface, at a convention.
