Pollsters

USA Today headline (online): “Poll finds Mormons excited about Romney”. Wow! I think that poll further revealed that the earth is round, we get hungry when we do not eat and pollsters should be looking for a real job 🙂

Lia Knower

Sunday morning 4mile run at 9:16 pace with the indomitable Samaresh Mukhopadhyay. Somewhere in our third mile, we saw a couple of other runners and I was like – “I know ‘er. It’s Knower 🙂 “. Always great to catch up withLia Knower – one of those rare friends I have that run for 100 miles…. in one go!! That makes her simultaneously certifiably crazy as well as an inspiration for me every time I want to give up after 8 or 9 miles of running 🙂

Sequencing

Familiar Thursday evening situation: On a flight returning home. Have not posted a puzzle in some time. So, here is one…
What is the next number in the following sequence?
4, 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 60, 72, 102, …
(If you know the answer send me a personal message)
Disclaimer: I remember this puzzle vividly from my college days because after two days I simply gave up 🙁

Niki’s husband

This morning, as I left for office dragging my overnighter with me, Niki asked Sharmila “where is Daddy going?” Sharmila explained that after office I will fly to DC but will be back tomorrow. Nikita felt that was a lot of effort for just one day (I guess she thinks all flights are as onerous as her trips to India 🙂 ). Anyways, Sharmila explained that sometimes you have to work very hard at your job. Nikita thought for a second and as she walked away, explained to her sleepover friend Kylie “See, when I grow up, I am not doing any such thing. I will let the husband do all the hard work” 🙂 
Let the record show that her mom side genes are dominant 🙂 — at Delta Skyclub ATL terminal B.
