Our new pool is still amazing :)
My savings rate just went up to 2.8%... not a bad return for a risk-free investment.

New Pool!
Well, at long last I finally got to swim in the new pool yesterday, and what a beautiful experience that was! The natural lighting, quality lane-lines, 7-foot depth, and wide lanes will all combine to make our pool certainly the best in the conference, one of the best in Boston/Cambridge, and probably the third- or fourth-nicest pool I've seen. It will be an exciting season!
After swimming a bit, I gave myself a quick tour of the rest of the facility. This is a great place, with basketball, squash courts, an elevated track, tons of workout machines, and pretty much every amenity you could dream of. Perhaps the saddest part is the lazy river, which comes at the expense of a 50m pool (we get like 42m instead), and isn't intensely interesting in and of itself. Hopefully, someone will enjoy the 30yd-long river quite a bit :-\ Altogether, a beautiful BU construction, and it looks to be quality that will last.
That's all for today.

I'm home for Spring Break... Good to see the family... Will be working on an exciting project this semester involving segmenting the bronchial tree from CT scans of the lungs. Just got it to compile under VS.NET, which is an upgrade from VC++6. Enjoy your spring break :)
