I'm on my way to one of the famed Gordon Research Conferences, scattered throughout New England every summer. This one is "nuclear chemistry" (really: low-energy nuclear physics), at Colby-Sawyer College near New London, New Hampshire. I've never been to one before, though I have heard of them for years. Donna went to at least one years ago.
En route, I took a red-eye via LAX to Boston. I never can sleep on planes. So I drank 3 cups of coffee and now I feel all buzzy, and not in a good way. Boston is rainy; the temperature is tepid.
I'll keep you all updated. Next week I go on to East Lansing, Michigan, for another conference; in between I'll be visiting my friends Athena and Peter in Boston.
