So, yeah, I haven’t been posting, but in my own defense, since I’ve posted I’ve been to Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Halifax, and a small city in rural Nova Scotia that will remain nameless for the anonymity of the research we did there.

I am almost, almost done with my travel for the year, but next week will take me to Chicago and Boston.  I have the weekend free in Chicago — Christine, Maggie, Heimbaugh?  Anyone up for the Field Museum and some beer?  (Non simultaneously, of course.)
As to the Boston trip, I might have either Wednesday or Thursday evening free, but I don’t know yet.  We fly home Friday night so the team that are going on to the second round of research can get a weekend at home before it starts.
