do you ever get this?

<p>My own aunt and uncle (granted, they live up near SLO) routinely referred by accident to me being at Cal Poly for the first couple years I was at Caltech. :-)</p>

<p>An older guy at my high school graduation party in Michigan, who I think is related to me somehow at least by marriage, seeing the “-tech” on the cake, asked me if I was going to be a machinist or an electrician. I guess I did learn to use machine tools, so maybe there was something to that one.</p>

<p>This is probably why I chose to go to UMich right after Caltech. That degree gets some respect back home! (kidding)</p>
