Summer spins

I have suddenly found myself away from Waltham again!  On Tuesday, just after returning from Quebec, I met with my old boss, Dr. Hayes, at Brandeis.  He wanted to see if I would be interested in working for him again, this time as something of a Lab Manager.  Not sure what this will entail, but all I know is that once I start working I can kiss my long holidays good-bye!  To make the most of my final week or two of "freedom," the next day (yesterday) I flew out to NC to visit my folks.  Next week I will head back out West to see Monica in Albuquerque, NM.  Unfortunately I will miss her 30th birthday party (Ninja Turtles themed!), but at least I can see her stomping ground, as promised :o)
