这个周五决定早点回家，早点开始度周末。看天色尚早，就想出去跑两圈。慢跑着到了学校，行政楼前的广场上真是people mountain people sea 啊。听大喇叭里的声音，是校友会Home coming 以及为快要到来的parade作动员。大多人都穿着有着学校标记图案的恤衫，姑娘们脖子上戴着荧光项圈，小孩子们都打扮地漂漂亮亮的，有警察骑着单车在人群里穿梭，都兴致勃勃，喜气洋洋的。

穿过人群往操场去，堪堪跑完一圈，锣鼓喧天，大队人马奔着运动场的入口来了。没法再跑下去，我返回家吃晚饭。老祖宗说衣食足而知荣辱，这话确实有些道理。其实说白了就是，人吃饱了的时候会没事找事。我吃饱喝足之后，就觉得门口的垫子脏了，客厅的地面也很不清爽，于是开始拖地板。拖完觉得效果还是不如想象中的明显，于是又找些消毒纸巾擦了一遭。客厅收拾完了是厨房。厨房的地面擦过之后，就觉得料理台旁白墙上的油渍十分碍眼，于是开始擦墙。有些污渍似乎有些年头了，抹布擦不干净，让人恨不得能上手抠下来就好了。

小室友下楼来，我问她在干嘛，她说，“我在抠顶。”

我脑子里打了个回合，觉得很崇拜。我欲抠墙的念头还只是打了一个转儿，已经觉得自己非常善于折腾了，没想到强中更有强中手，这里现场就有一个抠顶的模范。于是我很崇拜，很狗腿的问，“为啥要抠顶啊？”

“我们明天有个paper要交，我需要把simulation做出来。” 嗯？这跟抠顶有什么关系么？电光火石间，原来小室友在写代码，coding。

我觉得自己的中英文听力又升华到了一个崭新的层次。

程序和孩子的设计与制造，即使生产的过程俱为全程参与，但是产品的成型和发展过程中，总有些“乍看则意料之外，细想则意料之内”的惊奇。

编程序与教孩子，虽然看上去我们可以参与所有框架的设计和细节的琢磨，其实，除非作为史前第一只生蛋的母鸡，万事从头建立整个体系，（当然这几乎是不现实的），那么整个过程的底层框架其实已经在那里。程序在体系结构的框架里，孩子的基因框架，在上帝的手中，我们能做的，主要是在于尽可能完善问题的解决，尽可能完善自己的逻辑思维，而不是穷尽所有可能的细节。

编程的过程中，自以为把所有可能的bug都考虑进去了，总能做到万无一失，到调试的时候还是发现有问题，仔细想来，这些问题究其实，均来自于自己思维的漏洞；养孩子的过程中，自以为能够帮助孩子杜绝所有的的毛病，后来发现原来很多毛病的起源却是正在自身。

编程的过程是个解决问题的过程，在这个过程中，我们解决的问题绝大部分都是很多人都已经做过无数次而成定例的东西，然而，当整个项目完成的时候，回首来时路，惊奇的发现由无数个微不足道的小方案形成的大方案，确实具有很多特殊性和独创性；教孩子的过程中，我们解决的问题绝大部分都是无数前人早都曾经面对并且解决的问题，但是经由这些一点一滴的足迹成长起来的孩子，却是这个世界上独一无二的个体。

编程的目的是为了解决问题，不是为了把编程活动无限进行下去，如果问题解决，那么在适当的时机要学会停下来；教孩子的目的是为了培养孩子自己学习的能力，不是为了把教孩子这个活动无限进行下去，那么在适当的时机，要学会放手。

上本科班级的主页，看到当年的几个同窗哥们如今已经步入千万富翁的行列。千万富翁！对于我这个从小在穷乡僻壤长大的人来说，这可不就是传说中的大款么？

仔细回想我这些年来关于大款的理想，作为一个新近中年，抒发一点廉价的感慨。

哎呀，我从博士毕业之后就一直立志要傍大款，殊不知原来若是从本科就立志，大款其实就在身边么。后悔啊后悔。“逝者已矣,来者可追”，我现在一定要用自己的经验教训告诉本科的小学妹们，关于傍大款这件事，立志要从本科做起。太上老君急急如令，非常重要啊非常重要。

关于傍大款这件事，经过对自己的实力的不断的主观评估，我已经对自己的理想进行了不断的调整。

最初的理想：　傍大款　-> 从20岁水灵灵的年纪到现在都没有能够成功。不要说大款，连个中款小款也没傍上。这个理想应该是破灭了；既然傍大款不靠谱，那就设法自己成为大款。

第二阶段的理想：　自己成为大款 -> 当了穷学生若干年, 如今不是学生了，穷人本色依旧，看来这个理想也悬；于是我把理想调整为---“成为大款他妈”。俗话说失败是成功之母，如果我这辈子比较失败，我的儿子女儿岂不是可以起名为“成功”？

第三阶段的理想：　成为大款他(她)妈 -> 眼见着岁月不饶人，我觉得吧，要培养儿子女儿成为大款，自己得先有个准大款的基本素质。这个好像，基本上，很难；于是重新调整。我的最新理想是：

现阶段的理想：　成为大款他(她)奶奶!

请大家祝愿我实现这个最新版的理想吧！

Jeff: So, listen, Achmed, where did you come from?
Achmed: You freaking suitcase. Ah ha ha ha ha ha~ I told another one!
Jeff: Look, if you've been in my suitcase all this time, how did you get through security in the airports?

I told another johuh. I can do this crap, too!
Okay, here is another one: "Two Jews walking in bar ... "
Jeff: No, no ...
Achmed: What? What? You don't let Jews in your bar? You racist bastard.
Jeff: What I mean is I don't want racist joke in my app.
Achmed: Okay. How about if I kill the Jews?
Jeff: No.
Achmed: I am kidding. I will not kill the Jews. No~~.
I will toss the penny between them and watch them fight to the death. Hahahaha ...
Yes, yes! I did the same thing with two Catholic priest that what I tossed is a small boy. ... Hahaha ...
Yes, yes, and the winner has to fight Micheal Jackson.
Jeff: Achmed!
Achmed: What?
Jeff: Stop doing this. You can't tell jokes like that.
Achmed: Why not, I am killing (kidding), so to speak.
Jeff: Well you can't tell jokes like that.
Achmed: What?
Jeff: It offends people.
Achmed: Oh, I am dead, what do I care?! What do you want me to do, "knock knock" jokes?
Jeff: That would probably be better.
Achmed: Okay. Knock, knock!
Jeff: Who's there?
Achmed: Me. I'll kill you!
Jeff: So as a suicide bomber, have you had training?
Achmed: Of course, we have the suicide bomber training camp.
Jeff: Is that a nice facility?
Achmed: It used to be.
Jeff: What happened?
Achmed: New guys~~~ The idiots tried to practice.
Jeff: What did you guys learn from that?
Achmed: Location, Location, Location!
Jeff: So you guys have any kind of model?
Achmed: Like what?
Jeff: Like we are looking at "A few good men" (wiki) (imdb) .
Achmed: We are looking at "Some idiots with no future".
Jeff: So where did you get your recruits?
Achmed: The suicide hotline. Hahahaha ... That was dark, was it not?
Jeff: Yeah. So, what exactly happened to you?
Achmed: Er?
Jeff: What happened?
Achmed: Oh, if you must know, I am a horrible suicide bomber.
Jeff: What happened?
Achmed: I had a premature detonation. I set the time in 30 minutes, but it went off in 4 seconds. You know what that's like, right? ... Is there a hurricane?
Walter: Aihahahaha~~
Jeff: So Archmed, what exactly happened to you?
Achmed: Well, I was getting gasoline, and I answered my cell phone: "Can you hear me now? Huh! ... "
At first I thought it was because I went over my minutes.
Jeff: That's too bad.
Achmed: It is okay. I took that Verizon bastard with me.
Jeff: So, what's it like to die, did you see a white light?
Achmed: If you have done enough to watch car explosion, you will.
Jeff: Some people say when they die, they SEE a white light. What did you see?
Achmed: I saw flying car parts.
Jeff: What is the last that went in your mind?
Achmed: My ass. ... Ah ha ha ha ha, Walter told me to tell that johuh!
Jeff: So you never saw a white light.
Achmed: No, but I saw a blue Prius (link). Do you really have one of those vehicles? Hahahahahaha~ Oh! That is not a car, that is a lunch box.
Did you know? You are going down to highway in a Prius, and you put your hand out of the window, that the vehicle will turn?
Jeff: You did all of this for a bunch of virgins?
Achmed: Are you kidding me? I kill you for a clandaic mark.
Jeff: So I guess you are muslim?
Achmed: I don't think so.
Jeff: You are not muslim.
Achmed: No. Why, look at my ass, it says "Made in China". Walter says that I am just a stinking Halloween decoration. Hahahaha~
Jeff: So do you like being in DC?
Achmed: I think some idiots must live there.
Jeff: Why?
Achmed: For example, the Washington monument. It looks nothing like the guy. It's more like a tribute to Bill Clinton.
Jeff: What do you think of Bush?
Achmed: Oh~ I love Bush! Oh! you mean the president? I am sorry ...
Jeff: That's "Achmed the terrorist". Here we go!

Besides the pursuit of high-tech and efficiency, it is so nice to see some engineers actually spend time to make life more lively and interesting!

Real life humors from www.cchere.net:

中午听来的真实事件：

德国一家飞机飞往印度某城市请求降落。但是该城市机场刚改名，所以在与塔台的通讯中飞行员拒绝相信该机场是真实存在的。于是转往另外一个城市请求降落，被拒。直到孟买才得以顺利落地。

美国一航班飞往杜塞，结果降落在法兰克福。乘客直到打车时才意识到自己到了错误的城市。

A funny quote a day, keeps the worries away.
 
1. When someone is acting stubbornly in a quarrel, we will say, "Okay, let's leave him/her alone for a while. Currently his/her first name is Always, and his/her last name is Right. (S)he is Always Right, and not be to argued with.  "

2. I went to the stationary room for some paper clips. In the hall way, I met Dannis, who was talking with Bill.  When Dannis saw me, he began to pose in a starting position for martial arts.  I was so amazed, so I asked, "Do you know some kung fu?" He pulled back his arms, and said, "No, not kung fu, but I do have some Moo Goo Gai Pan (mushroomed chicken) sometimes."

3. In our house, we got a long standing size mirror in the living room.  For several days, it was placed in a tilted position against the book shelf. Yesterday, I found the mirror was put straightly upright.  As we may notice, the figure looks slender and slimmer with a tilted mirror, but in a straight mirror, we just see ourselves, as stout as we are. Therefore I asked my roommate, Lea, about the mirror.  She smiled, "Yeah, I do see myself slender and pretty and attractive in the titled mirror." --- "Oh?" I was curious, "Then, why put it straight?"  Lea packed up her smile and spoke to me in a serious poker face: "Sometimes we just have to face the reality."

1.  In English, when something is beyond our mind, we say "It is Greek to me. "  One time during lunch with Professor Preza from Cyprus, whose native language is Greek, I asked her the question what is the Greek version of this expression, she smiled at me and said, "It is Chinese to me!"

--- Then what do we Chinese say about something totally beyond? "如听天书" 或者 "如读天书", --- "as if to listen to a narration from heaven" or "as if to read scripts from heaven". 

2. After entering graduate school in engineering, when I stepped into a class, on a lot of occasions I would be the only lady in the room. After some time, I began to get used to it; today, when I stepped into a continuing education class about patient care for glaucoma, the whole class were composed of nurses and medical caregivers, this time, the professor was the only gentleman in the room. Quite a change to me!

关于中奖这回事

早上有电话响起来，是个陌生的号码，接起来一听，甜美而振奋人心的女声告诉我入围啥啥中奖资格第一轮。以为又是那种“祝贺你！弗罗利达四天三夜，1000刀现金折扣！”之类不靠谱的“大”奖。没待听明白，甜美的女声问我，“知道我为啥给你打电话么？”。咦，这个问题怎么问起我来了。
“阿，为啥啊？”我也好奇呢。
“记得你去 Wolfchase Mall 曾经填了一张迷你Cooper 的抽奖卡么？”
哦，我回忆起来，还真是有这么回事，跟室友逛街，那天似乎买东西的兴致没有挥发完毕，两个无聊的人就去填了卡来着。 真是振奋人心的消息，难道我要中奖啦？
“第一批入围的有45人，你是其中的一员。”
嗬，不错啊。从小到大，人生的任何一次抽奖，我从来都没有中过，哪怕是那种中一条牙膏肥皂的末等奖项。今儿个这运气很是可观么。迷你Cooper的市价是多少来着？两万上下应该差不离吧，按概率来算，这两万的四十五分之一也是有400多刀么。我被自己的好运气迷住了。

迷人的女声听上去更加甜美，“你当时填表的时候难道没有注意我们的旅游宣传单么？（课堂提问状----问题没有听懂，我尚处懵懂状态）
我们这是一个十项全能的旅游胜地，叫做XXXX，您知道么？（期待状----我心里抱歉起来）
哦，您连这个XXXX都没有听说过么？（吃惊状----我开始惭愧）
您难道不考虑带着您的家庭来旅游么？（控诉状----我觉得羞愧了，我对自己的家庭真是不负责任）
哦，您的假期旅游计划现在做没有做啊？（大惊----我检讨，我真是拖拉）
哎呀，您多大了？（查户口状----哎呀，我是怎么活到了这把年纪还不知道xxxx的呢？）
结婚了么？（关心状）
哦，这样啊。（失望状）那你的家庭收入该至少有四万吧？...哦。(遗憾状----真是的，本来以为自己是富人的。真的，我一直觉得我现在想买个镀金的斧头砍柴总办得到了。)
来，我来给你上一课，讲一讲我们的旅游一揽子计划。（努力热情状----浪费了别人的时间，我真不该....咦，这难道不是在浪费我的时间？我发了一阵高热的脑子终于清醒了。）
阿，别跑啊，虽然你没有钱，但是也可以了解一下我们的信息，我可以邮寄一些广告给你。（挽救失足中年状）
哎，你总该上网吧，你自己去我们的网站看看，叫做xxxxxxxxxxx.com。（作结束语状）
可不要拼错了，全拼是x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-dot-com”。（苦口婆心状）

在我被尚属虚拟阶段的400多刀中奖入围的虚荣心鼓动之下，虚心地接受了一番教育之后，觉得彻底地心虚起来。哎呀，我是个多么不堪的人啊，对待自己，见识短浅；对待家庭，不负责任；对待时间，拖拉邋遢；对待社会，收入让社会都替我羞愧啊。阿～～醒过来之后，问自己，“我怎么烧成这样了？”

无论怎样，这是此生我老人家离中奖这件事距离最近的一次，作文以记之。

你说，我要是万一中了呢？这个海市蜃楼的400多刀不就变成市价近两万的mini Cooper了么？

看来还烧着呢。

1. 温柔的女声

有天，忘了是啥事，室友小张在楼下大呼：“李！亚！秦！！！”
我大惊，忙不迭奔下楼去，一边做唐僧状唠叨告诫“温柔些，温柔些。” 然后，就听见一声妩媚婉转的：“秦秦～～～”
我不支倒地而亡。

2. 给你小鞋穿 

我跟室友经常一起去买衣服鞋子，发现我的脚比她的小半码。今天她在屋里收拾出一双皮鞋来，说她穿有些小，也许我可以试试。
我随口问，“鞋子小了？”
“嗯，”她回答，想了想，又说，“给你双小鞋穿～～～”

3. 冷气

室友圣诞节准备外出度假，这几日谆谆教诲我要好好替她喝掉冰箱里的牛奶。每次一在厨房看见我，她就说，“记着帮我喝牛奶！”如是者不绝于耳，我终于不胜其烦。冰箱上有一本列购物单子的便签，我跟她说，“或者你把这一条贴在冰箱门上？”
于是，室友在上面写：“喝牛奶哦噢哞吔！”
我好奇，“这个‘哦噢哞吔’是什么？”
答：“我所知道的所有口字旁的语气助词。”然后，在下面画了一幅杯碟，杯子里的牛奶还冒着热气。
我看了一眼，说，“其实我喝牛奶大多喝冷的。”
过一会，发现图上已经添加了一个螺旋箭头，题注曰：“冷气”。

凡人趣话

有趣的妈妈

(1) 狼狈为奸篇

打电话给我妈，问她在干嘛，答曰织毛衣。
我作吃惊科：“你眼睛不是老花了么？织毛衣看得见针么？”
我妈笑，“嘿，我老花眼去年就好啦，现在我是近视眼，能看近不能看远。”
哦？这倒是个新闻。“那我爸现在眼睛咋样啊？”
“你爸倒是老花啦，能看远不能看近。”
“嗨，你们现在出门要一块走么，这样就可以既看近又看远了。”
“对，我们现在出门基本上`狼狈为奸'。”

注：狼狈为奸来源于《博物典汇》：狼前二足长，后二足短；狈前二足短，后二足长；狼无狈不立，狈无狼不行。

(2) 养花兵法篇

我哥哥生了个小姑娘花儿，今年三岁了，我父母带在身边，在老家上幼儿园。问起我的小侄女，我妈说，“那可不好管呐。小花很多时候比我执着啊。”（注：小家伙据说脾气比较倔。）
我问，“现在上了幼儿园是不是好管了点？一周去幼儿园几天哪？”
我妈说，“这个幼儿园不是关键，关键是，我一周里有八天都得跟这个小皮猴斗法。”
嗯？“怎么斗？他老人家的游击战争十六字诀？”
我妈长叹一声，背诵起他老人家语录：“与皮猴斗，其乐无穷阿。”

让我们取个中文名字

最近越南大哥有了个新的中文名字，叫“梁小强”。他姓梁，所以这个姓是非常准确地中文音译。至于小强这个名字呢，则是意译的。如果你看过周星驰的电影，那么对于“小强”这个名字的含义一定不会陌生。有天吃晚饭的时候，室友小王在家里桌角墙缝的地方看见一只小小蟑螂，正在奋力爬走。我追上去准备踏上一只脚，越南大哥不乐意了，“你让它呆在那里嘛。好好的招惹它干吗。”嗯？第一次听说有人对小蟑螂如此富于同情心。我去踩，没有够着，脚风扫处，小强翻了个身，奋力蹬腿。我问他，可是我不愿意它在客厅呆着，你有什么好办法？越南大哥答曰：“不要管它，它自会爬到楼上我的房间去。”哦？好像也是个解决办法，我就不再管了。只是从此，越南大哥得了个大名叫“小强”。出门去烧烤，野地里有很多甲壳虫，我们对越南大哥说：“瞧，你表弟来了。”越南大哥欣然挥挥手：“喂，你好！”

开始的时候，我们告诉越南大哥，我们给他一个新的中文名字叫“小强”，在中国非常流行非常的有吸引力。他很认真地学，努力的发音。等到他的发音学得很标准了，问我们是什么意思。我们认真跟他解释了这里面的含义。越南大哥很生气，后果很严重，他决定要给我和小王俩人也取个名字。可是他的中文词汇毕竟比较贫乏，那些有限的中文词汇，还都是我们教他的。他坐在沙发上奋力思索了很久，终于有了灵感，非常兴奋地告诉我们，我们俩的名字分别是：李啥啥，和王那个。果然，轮到我们俩恼羞成怒。原因是，我说话的时候经常话到嘴边找不到词，于是总是用“啥啥”“啥啥”“那个”“那个”代替。每次我这样语无伦次的与室友对话的时候，我们就笑成一团。越南大哥不懂中文，倒也看得出我们在互相取笑。于是这两个词，就成了他的中文启蒙。我以前的老室友曾经有凡人名言曰，跟我这样的人呆在一起，中文成长环境十分恶劣。诚如斯言也。

If you check on maps.google.com, you can actually get driving directions to drive from Memphis all the way to London! Of course, the key step is to jump into water at Long Wharf and swim across the Atlantic Ocean; afterwards, you can take a slight right on the traffic circle E05 and drive all the way to London!

The summary of the driving trip is the following:
Drive: 5033 miles (about 30 days 3 hours) .

Let's go driving across the globe!

1998年赠我的室友们

to 张尽尧 to 禹杨 to 冯宇 to 肖艳 to myself

张弓遥望昊天穹, 禹王庙前柏森森, 冯唐尽言难老, 肖似西子曾倾城, 李唐盛业今何在,
尽许英雄驰骋中, 杨槐柳荫细细风, 宇文风采长消, 艳如榴花照日浓, 亚父弦歌久不闻,
尧舜莫笑干戚舞, 清泉陌陌长流水, 韶光逝流如水, 明珠差强比贝齿, 秦民即欲寻旧梦,
文韬须得武略谋. 秀槛栏外悠悠云. 华灼依旧连年. 眸如秋水胜一泓. 还向今昭觅图存.

Written in 1998, to my college roomates in Room 3228, West Campus, USTC

二零零五年七月十九日贺刘晓峰生日
刘郎已恨蓬山远
晓月柳声念玉颜
峰青云底不及看
兄台南翔亚城垣
生逢丙辰今戊酉
日月静好换河山
快罗酒浆与杯盏
乐于西窗话当年

编后记兼自吹法螺一筐：
那天讨论聚会事宜，碰巧知道了晓凤同学的生日打算去亚特兰大与爱人团聚，一时兴起，写了几句打油诗，已经等不及地在晓凤同学那里显摆过了，今天发到网上来，继续显摆。

写完后发现这后四句居然有点普适性。（呵呵，略加改动，比如尊兄改成贤弟，丙辰换做戊戌，这以后生日的贺诗就可以批发处理了。）赶紧自己标榜一下，多么好的一首诗啊，既有普适性，又有个性化设计，是不是跟得上“结构化，个性化”设计的现代潮流啦？
