The lazy days of summer just evaporated before my eyes. The "endlless summer" feeling that comes in early August has morphed into Chicago conference trip next week. I managed to keep that to a 4 day trip.
But the best laid plans of laziness are cut short. Now, I return from Chicago for about six hours - enough time to repack and sleep for a couple hours. Then it is off to the Utah and Wyoming. The lure of joining my sister traveling there for a few days was irresistible. With some strategically placed phone calls, I have managed to get a cabin at Mammouth Hot Springs for two nights and a cabin at the Old Faithful geyser complex for a night.
Yeah for seeing Yellowstone again!
I will return the day I go back to a full time contract and the school year begins again.
Somewhere in the next 24 hours, I have to fire off a paper proposal to a Nov. conference in.... MELBOURNE! Looking for travel companions as I could squeeze out about 9 days of travel after the conference if anyone is willing to do emu, or kangaroo or crocodile for Thanksgiving dinner.
