That was the commute home.

I'm going to be in Baltimore next week if anyone's around...

The joke goes...

After wandering the german city for hours, the wife says to her husband, "I think we're lost". To which he replies, "no, no, I planned ahead and looked at the street name in front of our hotel. We'll just follow it back into the city until we find our hotel. And look, there it is: 'Einbahn'."

Well the one complaint I read about that map I got was that some of the streets are mislabeled. Should keep life interesting.

relatively english, take care.

Yes, most the signs are in English.

China signs

Yes. The guy i talked to today said all the signs are in englishtoo. Made me feel more comfortable.

Well someone pointed out to think of all the things they'd warn people about who were traveling to the U.S. and take all the warnings with the same thought. It's the crowds and getting lost that worry me the most, but I do have a map and they say the streets are labeled in english and chinese.

That attitude is exactly how I ended up with this sombrero and stuffed monkey.

I think I'm giving up on reading about Shanghai. The more I read the more possible problems I see. I'll just go and see what happens.

Yeah, we did the pumpkin thing last night too. I made them pull out all the innards. Ewwww! yuck! Coooool! Were the comments there, similar to the look on Lauen's face.

So, what if our teachers go on strike just to add to the excitement when I'm out of town? Edgardo's so going to love it. Have fun in New Orleans, Honey-miel!


And, nto, it's no publication, but the work of a very litigious boss...

name mis-spelled again
But, just as much fun to read as the publication I'm sure...

Just discovered this acknowledgment. That's right, technical assistance for the book "Plant Secondary Metabolism".

I also finally got to read that paper I was listed as 2nd author on...

Wine tour... sounds like a cool New Year's Eve.

Drove around Seneca lake today and just feel like reminding everyone that I live near the finger lakes and if you have a desire to have a wine tour weekend I live in the place to come do it!! And since I don't like wine very much you have a designated driver.

as a destination or as a transport method?

Mom is recovering...several hours of induced labor only to end in c-section. something like my first. but very happy!

Get crappy candy.

How do you not eat the trick-or-treat candy before the trick-or-treaters show up?

How is mom doing? Tell her congrats from me.
