Hindsight is not 20/20

Just saw The Fog of War by Errol Morris about Robert S. McNamara and the 11 lessons he's learned in life.

In short, go see it. Draw your own conclusions, but here's a place to start: Teacher's Guide to Fog of War (24-page PDF).

A Crossroad Looms

My dear readers, it seems that I've encountered a crossroads again. I just received word that I have passed my Phase II, which is in essence my qualifier exam for my Masters and PhD degree. So, if I wish, I can depart in a few months with my new MS degree in hand and seek employment, or I can stay to pursue a PhD. Other than finding a dissertation topic and the immense time investment therein, I don't believe there's any other obstacle to receiving a PhD at this point.

Which road to take? In short, I'm torn.

Regardless, I wouldn't trade this for anything else. C'est la vie!
