Two quick trips

Last week was Chicago... got to see some of the city, see Blades of Glory, take part in the Biomaterials conference, eat good food, ride the subway, and experience some of the stresses of a crammed travel schedule. This week was San Diego, with much of the same. In both cities I got to visit some friends that I would not have seen had I not traveled for work... a new perk that I never really considered. Now I'm back home for a few days which should be nice and relaxing, no plans, I'll take 'em as they come. Thursday I finish this travel spree in Madison where I get both work and play, and in the right order, work, then play. For now, I think I'll crashzzzzz
