Updates!

Sorry, it has been hectic around here. Being a faculty member is so much more work than being a graduate student.. I actually think a big difference is the mental energy that goes into not beating the crap out of your fellow faculty members. Most departments are made up of people who generally enjoy a solitary work experience, but then they are forced to work as a group during faculty meetings. God I hate faculty meetings.

But it other news, I've been having some exciting adventures. A couple of weeks ago I went to the Bay area to celebrate Sir GB's proposal defense. In addition, we rode bikes through SF and across the golden gate bridge, which was really cool. I took some pictures, but haven't gotten around to uploading them...I know shocking. Then we went to the grand re-opening of the academy of sciences.

This weekend Sir GB came to LA. We went to the Getty Museum, which is definitely worth a trip, went to a jazz show (Ernie Watts, they were great) and then today went to the Huntington, which is amazing. Ok, only if you like plants (I do), seeing a Gutenberg bible, and Gainsborough's Blue Boy...It was a place that appealed to my pedantic nature.

What else is going on....I am headed back to the Bay at the end of the month for a grant meeting and to see Tahu, Tezza and new baby ReiRei.

Sir GB and I are going to Belize in January....we have a pretty ridiculous trip planned. It includes a three day sailing/snorkeling/fishing adventure that goes out to some of the deserted cayes. It is going to be so cool....

Ok..I will try to be better about posting....
