The Travel Season: Part 2
My annual travel season will begin sooner than I previously thought. I'll be off to Boston this Thursday, where I will spend several days hoping, among other things, that someone is taking good care of my cats. So as to not impose on Katy, to whom I would entrust their care more readily than anyone else in Pittsburgh, I'll probably just ask my next-door neighbor to feed and watch Dorian and Pixel.
This Friday, I will be at Harvard, and next Monday, I will be at MIT, speaking at length of nanorobots and doctoral studies and so forth. This weekend has the potential to provide some exciting opportunities for me, though I must admit to being somewhat nervous about it! I imagine I will provide an update on everything that happens there by this time next week, so you'll get to read all about how I've, perhaps, embarassed myself in front of various engineering faculty at two of the world's most prestigious schools. :)
While I'm not bathed in the heady glow of excellence emanating from Cambridge this weekend, I will be able to hang out with Taylor and with my aunt and uncle. Oh, and since it's now cold and dreary and snowy and stuff, I'll clearly have to spend some time in Newburyport at The Grog, rapt in the wonder of their clam chowder. Seems like a good weekend to me!

Well, I'd have been happy to watch Dorian and Pixel, but I'm glad you've found other responsible Pittsburghers. Also, good luck in Boston! (And say hi to Di, John, and Tay for me).

You have so made my week. I am excited and nervous for you. I also know that you won't embarrass yourself. Your research is sound, innovative and interesting. Good luck.
