plans

[nibot]

I haven't gotten this approved here yet, but I think in May I'll be travelling out to Berkeley for a little conference, and then taking up to two weeks for a trip with Ryan to Barranca del Cobre on the Chihuahua-Pacífic Railway. The rest of the summer I'll be studying for the prelim exams while working on LIGO work (looking for stochastic background of gravitational waves, analagous to the microwave background), probably with one short trip out to LIGO/Hanford, hopefully with the possibility of a side trip across the cascades to see some real mountains, big trees, hot springs, and Seattle. Backpacking trips, camping on a lake in the Adirondacks, and rendezvous in Toronto and Montréal are also possibilities. In Rochester I'll be whiling away the evenings on my front porch, drinking mojitoes (and slapping mosquitoes).

Written up like that, it all sounds so exciting! But right now I'm going to have a honey sandwich. And then, maybe, go to sleep.

you need to pick up a stringed instrument.

I'm all for the Adirondacks option. I see them every day, across the lake, but I rarely go there.
