Hello from Germany!

Just a quick update that Jason is now officialy going to have to be referred to as Dr. Jason. He did great on his presentation and much fun was had in Bloomington.

Our flight to Germany on KLM airlines was *awesome*. They had FREE BOOZE, two full meals and a snack. Very good stuff, [...]

Well these two Chicago kids have been extremely busy since the marathon. Jason of course has a real job, while I have been stressing and working on getting my analysis submitted to collaboration review. That made it through alright, now I just have to hope they approve it for the conference. I really don’t see [...]

Alright, the marathon is over…..my head was getting that 5 year itch that it tends to get…and so it was off to the salon I went yesterday. It was time for a change and I think I’m going to love it!

I have had short hair in the past….and I love it…and then I wake up [...]

I never felt great in the race….but managed to pull out a 4:10 something. So it’s not my worst time, but….my god….horrible. ah…well…I’m still smiling and I finished. Stay tuned for race reports from both of us.

Leah got a present today…oh yes she did…she’s a little terrified of it…yes she does like to refer to herself in th 3rd person….but something she can grow into…another [...]

my own horn that is.

But.

My talk today….went really well. I got a huge vote of support and a big compliment after my talk in front of the rest of the folks in the meeting from the old head of my physics group and two congratulatory emails from my advisor.

It feels good to have done so [...]

Well kids. Sunday we have this “marathon” to run.

What?

I have been so busy with work stuff that I haven’t been up to my usual 8 posts a day that usually grace this blog the week before the marathon. Good on one hand because I haven’t really had time to freak out or get too worked [...]
