winter roadtrip, round 3 (of 4)

so i really don't ever stay put.

in the past 7 days i've slept in 4 different places... moving around is what i do best.

the northern leg of my roadtrip was fun.
* i enjoyed hanging out with grandma even if we live in totally different worlds. she makes me laugh and we generally have a good time.
* heather m's wedding was beautiful. she and chris are so perfect for each other and it was a beautiful thing to watch them so happy together as well as to catch up with good college friends. aubrey taught me how to waltz between the wedding and the reception which for me is huge. :P
* roommate and i had a fabulous time hanging out with tammy and marcus for new years. we went cosmic bowling in a middle-of-nowhere, indiana town and had a blast.
* driving a rooster for dad from indy to memphis wasn't quite as noisy as expected. i'm glad it's over with.

2 days in memphis, and now i'm off again. yesterday i hung out with mom, then later went bowling with brother and got my highest score ever -- a 167!!! i'm getting there. :) today was random errands, and eric flew into town this afternoon so i have math company the whole rest of my time until i'm back in jersey. the next several days look like this:

* leave memphis super early tomorrow and head for mobile, alabama just to be there and get a good view of the gulf coast... will probably visit the USS alabama. eric's never been in the south at all before, so we'll knock out TN, MS, AL, and LA all in one day. after mobile, we're off to new orleans for the night.
* friday-monday national joint math meetings in downtown new orleans. lots of socializing with lots of math people. it will be a party.
* tuesday, new orleans back to memphis, then one day of "downtime" before the final leg of my crazy winter break travels.

i can barely keep up with myself lately, how about you? :-P

Hey La - glad you had fun during Christmas/New Years.

As you head back to school I thought you might enjoy this comic: The Accelerated Learning Handbook.
