tales from the road
Ack! No Communications!
Ok, this is the part that sucks. I just got off the phone with John (who I pulled out of a class to talk to) and feel like hearing a little more “voices from home”. But Skype is hating me tonight (keeps dropping my calls), everyone whose number I have memorized is still at work [...]
More Norway
Ok, it’s 9pm here and I’ve finally finished attending the ICCC for the day, given my presentation to SSCI via webcast, caught up on work, and had dinner. If you read my post from this morning, you got quite the jumbled list of subjects. Here’s what I was talking about.
(Oh, and before I forget, I’ve [...]
Ok, Ok — I’m up!
Not exactly bright-eyed and bush-tailed, but I’m up. It’s 8am here and 2am at home. I was worried about being able to sleep through the night, but that wasn’t an issue. I was asleep before my head hit the very wonderful pillow and snoozed my alarm for an extra 1.5 hours. DOH. But I feel [...]

It’s been a very long day, but I’m finally here. My plane left Dulles about 20 minutes late, but we were really cruising once we were in the air.

Thank You, Delta
I’m taking back everything bad I said about Delta Airlines last spring — well, how about half of it?
I was in Huntsville, AL this week on business. On the way down on Monday they “lost” my bag. Ok, they didn’t actually lose it — they knew where it was the whole time, I’m assuming, since [...]
