Where have I been?

So... not much blogging has happened in awhile, and that's a bit uncool on my part.

However, since late April, I have been on a tear, spending 5 days in SoCal (Death Valley: I guess it's really southeast Cal), 5 days in DC, 10 days in Canada, 3 days cruising around SF bay on my boat, and 3 days in Sequoia National park. Add in trying to get some research done, and not much blogging has happened. But, for those aspiring grad students out there, let this be informative: being in Grad school and having fun traveling are totally not mutually exclusive!
