Okay. It's been another month since I blogged. But since I last wrote, my dad wrote the family holiday letter and asked me how many places I've traveled to. Here's the list.

To a room at Purdue for a week's development of a overhauled course

A great description of the insane travel schedule of a professor. It also shows why we do it. What beautiful photos they are.
I hope you have a nice relaxing holiday. You deserve it.
