If you've submitted reimbursement forms recently, well, they've been turned into SAFO. Yaaay.

All-around awesome guy - Professor Joe Haldeman!

Haldeman: ``Well, I do have [The Accidental Time Machine] memorized, but if you guys have a copy...''

Professor Haldeman reads from The Accidental Time Machine, to much acclaim.
