Traveling fool

I've been off gallivanting again. This time? The big apple.

Oh hello there Brooklyn Philharmonic in Bryant Park!

Science sucks/NYC here I come!

From http://newyorkphotos.co.uk/index.html.

The past couple weeks have not been good science weeks. One word: optimization. That's a nice way of saying 'I have no idea what I'm doing, but it needs to magically work.' This happens often in science, but right now it's holding up a paper.

So I'm bailing! I'm going to the city that never sleeps. Friday can't come fast enough.

Should have knit a cloud

Today was the Jessica's graduation and it was heads and shoulders above yesterday (torrential downpours, three hour plane delays, the usual). The day and ceremony were lovely, but both were long and sunny.

(Can you see the pride in my face?)

Everyone but Jessica, who was draped in regalia, got massive sunburns. That's how it goes sometimes. At least it was really nice to visit New York City without ever going into Manhattan.

NY or bust

I'm leaving for the Big Apple tomorrow (with my grandmother) to attend the Jessica's graduation. I'm really looking forward to the trip. In fact, I'm looking way forward because I'm dreading the exam tomorrow morning, but that's another story. (One mostly about kidneys, actually.) At any rate, here is the project I'm going to start tomorrow, hopefully. I think I might do the front and back panels in different shades of blue to avoid potential dowdiness.

Also, I don't think I have enough of this super-hot navy bamboo to do the whole thing. Too soon to tell.
