Good, good.

It's hell being a night person whose grad student office and academic
department had no snack machines worth the name; I couldn't keep food
around at my department because it would simply disappear.  So when I was
up at 3:00 in the morning typing away at the computer in the hallway, and
the 7-11 was *right across the street*, it's no wonder that I succumbed
most nights and went over and got something to eat.  If there had been a
24-hour McDonald's across the street, I would have eaten a lot of Big
Macs.  As it was, it was a 7-11 and I ate a lot of nachos and hot dogs.
