Greetings from pitch-dark Northern California, where I’m just ecstatically happy to be awake at 5am. Jet lag sucks.<\/p>\n
Other things that suck? Weather delays. We were supposed to arrive at about 1:00 yesterday afternoon, but snow in Chicago screwed that up completely. We spent a good hour and a half sitting on the plane at the gate at O’Hare, where they were down to one working runway, and two working de-icing trucks. This, on top of delays getting into Chicago due to the weather (see “one working runway”) meant that we didn’t get in until 4:00, so rather than spending a leisurely afternoon getting the lay of the land before going to dinner with some of my relatives out here, I barely had time to register for the conference and change my clothes before running out the door.<\/p>\n
Still, at least we made it here– I was a little surprised that we got into Chicago, let alone out to Oakland. And dinner last night was terrific.If only my body didn’t insist on being awake in time for my 8:00 EDT class…<\/p>\n
The conference I’m here for will see something like 2000 students presenting on their research, which will keep me fairly well occupied. Don’t expect much in the way of blogging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
