chicago '08

we're just back from nantucket. what a nice weekend! we went with the other postdocs, their spouses, a baby, and a dog. the daffodil festival was in full swing, and the gannets put on a good diving show. there were many yellow labs, seals and Kennedy-sounding accents. I have never seen so much old money and pastel pants. You know those chinos that are covered with embroidered martini glasses, turtles, or golf clubs? nantucket is where people actually dress like that.

I am going to miss the other postdocs. one of the hardest things about my education and training is the number of people we've had to say good-bye to. one of the most appealing things about returning to chicago is knowing that we will stay put for a long time to come. our offer on the condo was accepted; we'll be chicagoans by july 7!
