A traumatic lead

David Shiffman remains in the lead for the 2011 Blogging Scholarship, but there’s been a shake-up over the last few days and a new challenger is climbing the ranks. Let’s make sure this upstart doesn’t climb much higher.

David after his first semester exams, eight years ago. Also, what I imagine he looks like after seeing the weekend shake-up.

    Pretty much correct except I’m in warmer clothes now- it’s 84 here in Miami.

    Ok, either one of you has acquired the same comforter as me, or this was taken in my dorm room at duke before the LOTR marathon

    I’m reasonably certain that I was never once in your room.

    You were never in my room? I believe after we all finished chem our freshman year you were there to watch the return of the king with me, Andrew, Katherine and Olessia.

    The printer under the desk is also just like the printer I used to have. It is hard to tell, but its looking more and more like my freshman year dorm room.

    Nope, I don’t think so.

    I guess I should track down witnesses, but I know for sure that you were there, and someone else recognized that this in fact is my comforter.
